    "Poor Barney!  He's got chicken pox, and it's up to Grandapa  Spanielson's  to distract his "grand-pup" with some anti-itch stories.... The narration is enhanced by sound effects of sword fighting (with a swordfish), tension-filled music, and the "squooshing" of Grandpa doing battle with a toilet plunger.  The production also includes sounds of the sea, with gulls screeching and waves crashing.  Listeners will enjoy the dimension these effects add to this lively tale." -AudioFile Magazine
