This was fine but forgettable. I downloaded it as an alternative to the Frog and Toad stories my son wants to listen to every night, but these were less engaging and memorable. Nothing particularly bad, but nothing I care to listen to again, and I doubt he'll ask for them.

Excellent storytelling! Kids had a blast and lots of laughs.

An instant favorite… Similar to Frog and Toad, my kids frequently ask for Mouse Tales and Mouse Soup. We sure do love Arnold Lobel’s books! The audio version read by him is the best.

Similar vibe to Frog and Toad but not as good. Fun for kids to listen on road-trip though.

The mouse soup story was interesting in that the mouse got the weasel to do things that hurt himself in an effort to try to make the soup taste better!

Mouse Tales I rate 2 star. It wasn't bad, but it didn't capture my attention.
Mouse Soup is one of the LP records from my childhood, so I wanted to revisit it-- as I am doing with many of the stories from that time, to discover if they delight me in my adulthood, as they did in my youth. It does. I rate 4 stars; thus the average is 3 stars.
Mouse Soup reminds me more of a folk tale, almost like a koan to ponder the nature of happiness== each story focuses on the theme of happiness.
