I was recently sent the Brave Irene Book and CD Set to read and review. I am a children’s book lover. When I taught third grade, I had hundreds of books for my students to read and enjoy and now I have Anna to share my love of kids books with.

Here is a great one to add to the collection.

A little about the book:

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 in 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 wicket 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.

Narrated by the iconic Meryl Streep, this Book & CD Set charms with vivid illustrations, an exciting storyline, and the perfect voice to bring it all together. Also including a read-along track, Brave Irene is the kind of book that children will grow up listening to, and then excitedly read to themselves!

The CD that comes with this book set is read my Meryl Streep. It’s nice to use when kids want to follow along and “read” on their own. It also helps kids understand fluency and inflection from someone else.

The book is also great for getting cozy and reading with Grandpa.
