About this listen

This is the tale of Doodeedoo, who was made of socks and superglue by a little mouse with tiny paws, red painted lips, and well-trimmed claws.

She'd read a book called Frankenstein but never passed page 109, and as she said, "I'll have a go!" The mouse picked up some thread to sew... And so the tale goes.

A fun story for children, written in rhyme, and a lesson in not judging a book by its cover... so to speak.

If you could sum up Doodeedoo in three words, what would they be?

Charming, rhyming monster-fun.

What did you like best about this story?

There were three stories, so they were all a little different, but overall:

I loved the creativity of the stories - full of imagination, character and atmosphere, which was added to by Chris Barnes' varied and fun performances.

Which character – as performed by Chris Barnes – was your favourite?

Fred was lovely. "Oh what am I to do?" It was both charming and funny, had a morose, wobbly sound to it and made my 5 year old smile.

Chris Barnes does vary his narration in accent and tone from story to story, which gives variety, and he captures the magic and rhythm of the stories, bringing out the childish wonder beautifully.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

All of the stories were very atmospheric, and while they are all told in rhyming couplets, there are some tender moments.

I was quite touched by the boy's initial attempts to reach out to the monster Fred, who shied away from him. It was sensitively read, and the image of a self-protective monster was quite a touching one.

Any additional comments?

I loved DooDeeDoo and Super Fred. Real classics, with memorable characters that I know we'll want to relisten to. The House Inside the Forest was also beautifully written and beautifully read - but I felt it had a darker, spookier edge than the other two, so felt slightly more suitable for older children than my (just) 5 year old.

Saying that, she still enjoyed it, and it's the tiniest of quibbles. I just felt that the other two matched each other more in tone.

Charming, creative stories beautifully narrated

This story is a wonderful children's tale. It is beautifully told and read. The incredible writing and rhyming gives it great flow, and it's fantastic for youngsters.

The story itself plays gleefully from Frankenstein, but with a twist and a happy ending, allowing for scares and cheers, and of course, a lesson to be learned...

A fantastic story!

Would you listen to Doodeedoo again? Why?

This is my 5 year old daughters favourite. It just captures her imagination, anything that comes alive hits the spot with her!! She also loves the pace & rhyme of this, I can hear her trying to talk along with it, gradually trying to learn every word...
My favourite is Super Fred, it's a really solid story and I could imagine myself loving it when I was a kid

Who was your favorite character and why?

Doodeedoo and Fred

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Doodeedoo & mouse finally speak
