Pretty cool!

My 4yo loved it, we listened to it everyday for more than a week. Great for free content!

Baby to Sleep

It put my friend's one year old right to sleep. It was touch and go in-between stories because the music is significantly louder than the stories which is a little jarring.

Good stories

The stories were very good and well-told. Only one complaint, the lengthy music during the intervals were way too long.

For the Child in You

Classic children stories remembered from childhood and remembered fondly. This compilation reminds pleasantly. A keeper.

Great storytelling

Great readers, wish there were chapters to better switch between stories. Stories are more aligned with the traditional tellings, which I appreciate

Varied Collection

The length of each story was great for little ears, and the narration was super enthusiastic. My 3-year-old son kept imitating some of it and thought that was hysterical.

The only weird thing was that there’s several minutes of pretty terrible music before every single story. Totally unnecessary and annoying.

If you don’t mind the uneducational stories you’ll be fine

So, I forgot that jack is a thief and Goldie locks is a spoiled little brat and that the evil queen from Snow White tried to kill her not once but 3 times….
But if you don’t mind all these plot holes, and others, your kids (I guess over the age of 5…) will love it.

Puss in boots is strange.

Kind of racist....Puss in boots was made to sound black and called the boy master. Strange to give puss a Southern American accent, while everyone else had English accents.
