it was okay

I'm sure that the Billy Goats in my time were not that mean! I recall them being a bit scary as a child, but these ones in my opinion, were a bit over the edge. Grandkids loved it. It was me that was shocked with the story line. Gave it a 5 star only because it kept the kids listening, even play acting.

Not original reader, classic stories

Classic stories, but I was looking forward to hearing the original reader from the 70's that I listened to over and over and over read Tikki Tikki Tembo to my children.

cute

my twin girls really enjoyed this book! they liked the man's voice too in the first story.

Good and did great

It was good and wonderful. 3 books in one. Thank you very much. Yes yes

Entertaining & Engaging

I connect my ipod to the computer speakers so the 5-6 year-old kindergartners could listen to these stories during rest time. They enjoy the Three Billy Goat Gruff, but many of them repeatedly request Tikki Tikki Tembo...and Strega Nona.

Not the best

I will be returning this one. Stories are not engaging. Music in the 3 Billy Goats gruff is annoying.

Not before go to bed

the story it's ok but the voice and the music are annoyed. I have to stop it when they scream...horrible
