good kids book

My 5 year old grand daughter loved it. It amazes me how a 5 and 6 year old can be so quite in the car when I play them audio books. Greatest gift ever. Well worth the money.

Favorite book on tape from childhood

Even better than I remember. A fantastic rendition. The combination of music, poetry, and storytelling is superb.

We love this!

The music is nice and helps set the tone for the stories.

A Nightly Favorite!

I'll start by mentioning that I'm British, and it only just occurred to me that the author has an accent! My American children love the stories and have no issues with understanding the narrator. Although, the British factor must be a contributory to their ease of understanding. We play these beautiful stories each night. The accent is very soothing for kids, and as a plus it helps them appreciate and understand diversely beautiful accents. Enjoy! Its a must add.

Good but...

The sories and reading are great. Musical interludes are FAR too loud in comparison though.

Any additional comments?

I would like a refund

the kids did not enjoy it

the children weren't interested in listening to this story. they were bored. the accent is thick on this narrator which is hard for Americans to understand. my little ones kept asking me what the narrator was saying which defeats the purpose of buying a audible for kids.
