This audiobook by Michael Murpurgo was enjoyable to listen to. As Toto is telling one of his pups about the time he and Dorothy were in the land of The Munchkins. Toto also starts off by telling this pup I was there. As this is how Toto always starts this story. He also tells this pup that Dorothy had said that they had to wait till they had kids to tell the story. As unlike adults, children have a tendency to believe in things.
