Reviews

[Jess · Rating 3 out of 5]

March 2017 - The first two stories are read by Meryl Streep and were almost impossible to hear clearly. Perhaps better suited to a super quiet room than having on while we ate breakfast, but I had the volume all the way up and could barely follow the stories, despite knowing them already. Breathy, lots of pauses, not quite effective as an audiobook. Puss in Boots was more successful and lively. Ben sort of half paid attention, as he tends to do with audiobooks.

Loving the audio reader & music for these sweet stories! The girls and I always have a happier drive with a good audio book along for the ride.
