This was delightful! As an adult this is the exact type of children's lit I like to read, but I do believe I would have enjoyed it when I was a child as well.
The narrator is very entertaining, Penelope is quite intelligent though also very sheltered/naive too (in the best way) and the children are adorable! Also I listened to this on audiobook and the woman who preformed it, Katherine Kellgrin, was a excellent! Highly recommend it!
Loved the way it ended on a mystery as well and can't wait to pick up the second one.
Wonderful.
I loved this book and can't wait to read it to my daughter. I found the writing style very funny and Engaging, and loved the characters.
