Also for the chachacha she uses shakers, fire engines even sourcing a recording of astronauts..

She draws you into a world of wonder and it&#8217;s beautifully done, this has put a smile on my face having listened to it a few times now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Could this qualify as an audiobook?<\/p>\n<p>It could. Marina certainly has the voice for it.
