Publisher Description

In Dimwood Forest, all the mice know that moving beyond Grey House requires the permission of the great horned owl, Mr. Ocax. No one but Mr. Ocax can guarantee protection against the horrible porcupines who lurk in the forest, waiting to grab innocent creatures. He frequently reminds the trusting mice of his importance, as he snatches careless ones for his frequent meals. But Poppy is a curious mouse, and a little foolish. When she is caught dancing in the moonlight on Bannock Hill, she soon faces not only the great owl, but a huge porcupine, and an impossible challenge. Poppy, an ALA Notable Children's Book, is a warm and lively tale for young listeners and their parents. Through the award-winning talents of the master storyteller Avi, the tiny creature's far-ranging adventure provides a hearty lesson about bullies and celebrates the strength of a courageous spirit.

"Hi I’m a fifth grader in a Wisconsin school and I listened to the audiobook “Poppy”. I think John McDonough’s voice is rich, and is the perfect voice for narration of an audiobook. He also is expressive in his voice, and that’s what makes it good. I also love the story of Poppy. Poppy is a mouse who has her boyfriend killed by Mr.Ocax, because she and her boyfriend didn’t ask for permission to go to bannock hill. Later on at their home, there insn’t enough food to feed all of the mice, so Poppy, and Lungwort go to ask Mr.Ocax if half of the mice could move to a new place. He denies the request and says it’s because Poppy didn’t ask permission to go to bannock hill. But Poppy thinks there is something at the new place that Mr.Ocax doesn’t want them to see. So Poppy sets foot to go there and see what she can find."
