Kurtz reads the stories in a voice filled with affirmation and infectious glee. She infuses the voices of Raggedy Andy and Raggedy Ann with their characteristic joyous attitude, especially when the dolls make pulled taffy,then find a way to share it with some hungry children. Young listeners will enjoy the situations Raggedy Ann and Andy reminisce about and those experienced during this visit. J.K.R. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
