Gifts of the Season: Brave Irene Book & CD Read by Meryl Streep
29 November 2011
Brave Irene is a wonderful Children’s book and is the perfect Holiday gift that will excite parents and kids equally. Written by William Steig and the 1986 New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Book of the Year, it has just been re-released as a Book & CD Set. The set is read by the multi-talented Meryl Streep.
Brave Irene is Irene Bobbin, the dressmaker’s daughter. Her mother, Mrs. Bobbin, isn’t feeling so well and can’t possibly deliver the beautiful ball gown she’s made for the duchess to wear that very evening. So plucky Irene volunteers to get the gown to the palace on time, in spite of the fierce snowstorm that’s brewing– quite an errand for a little girl.
But where there’s a will, there’s a way, as Irene proves in the danger-fraught adventure that follows. She must defy the wiles of the wicked wind, her most formidable opponent, and overcome many obstacles before she completes her mission. Surely, this winning heroine will inspire every child to cheer her on.
The set includes an audio CD of Streep reading the book, the full color paperback, and a read along track for kids. The set is available for $9.99 on Amazon.com and book sellers near you.
