This was really more of a 3.75 ish somewhere around there for me. I did enjoy this book. I like Polly and Diggery as characters and I enjoyed learning about the beginning of Narnia. Sometimes I found the creation story when Aslan was singing to the animals a little boring and the parts where the animals were talking about what do to with Uncle Andrew were unnecessary. Though listening to it on audiobook did help because I enjoyed Kenneth Bragnaugh's various voices for all of the animals. Who would have thought to make the female elephant Scottish?! Nevertheless, the magic was still there along with the wonder so I did enjoy it.
