Agapanthus Hum is a whirlwind. She hums, she cartwheels, and she is always running around. Now that Agapanthus has eyeglasses, her parents want her to be careful. Agapanthus tries to slow down; she even wears a bag on her head so her glasses won't get lost, but more often then not, her glasses go flying. What do grown-up acrobats do with their eyeglasses? Agapanthus's parents bring her to a performance so that she can find out.

About the Author:

One of the most beloved writers of her time, Joy Cowley is one of the first authors a child-reader discovers. Famous originally for Mrs. Wishy Washy, Agapanthus Hum has stolen Joy's heart, and ours.

From AudioFile:

Agapanthus looks at the world from different points of view, and her favorites include a twirling one and an upside down one. As she gyrates and hums from one activity to the next, Agapanthus's glasses invariably come out the worse for wear. Thanks to her Good Little Mommy and Daddy and a dazzling performer in the acrobat show, Agapanthus resolves her love of activity with eyeglass wearing. Christina Moore's narration exudes Agapanthus's excitement and conviction to be just like "the lady in the white tights." Earnestly Moore shares Agapanthus's experiments at keeping her glasses safe. Graciously, and a bit exasperatedly, she shares the parents' efforts to keep Agapanthus on an even keel. A.R. � AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright � AudioFile, Portland, Maine
