Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
After being abandoned by their parents to the care of an odious nanny, the four Barnaby children, attempting to fulfill their roles as good old-fashioned children, long for their own happy ending, in a funny parody that pays tribute to classic works of children's literature. Read by Arte Johnson. Book available.
Review:
"Lois Lowry, who casts her noble and enviable shadow wide across the landscape of children's literature, from fantasy to realism, here turns her quick, sly gaze to parody, a word which in this case means 'a short novel mocking the conventions of old-fashioned children's books stuffed with orphans, nannies and long-lost heirs.'"
Lemony Snicket, Publishers Weekly, 2/4/08
Review:"Lacing her narrative with references to classics from the hoariest corners of the canon, Lowry channels her inner Snicket to great effect...Readers who are willing to give themselves up entirely to the sly foolishness will relish this sparklingly smart satire, which treats them with collegial familiarity."
Kirkus Reviews, 2/15/2008

The Willoughbys (ISBN: 9780739382349) Lowry, Lois Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Listening Library, United States, 2009. CD-Audio. Book Condition: New. Unabridged. 156 x 126 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. "Shouldn't we be orphans?" one of the Willoughby children suggests one day. The four are, after all, part of an old-fashioned kind of family, and their parents-well, their parents are not all that one would hope for. Recalling literary heroes and heroines such as Anne of Green Gables, Pollyanna, and James with his giant peach, the Willoughbys concoct a diabolical plot to turn themselves into worthy and winsome orphans. Little do they know that Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby have already begun to formulate their own thoroughly despicable plan inspired by another favorite bedtime story: the tale of "Hansel and Gretel.". Villains, benefactors, no-nonsense nannies, abandoned infants, long-lost heirs, and late-life romance all make their appearance along with the irrepressible Willoughbys as the Newbery Award-winning author Lois Lowry pays playful homage to classic works of literature in this hilarious and decidedly "old-fashioned" parody.
