[Dodo P · Rating 4 out of 5]

Just like the other recordings in this same series, I find that they are delightful and simple enough for beginning readers; and a great nostalgic reminder of a fable from my youth. I always loved this story growing up and the dramatic (juvenile) reading just made a fun story with a valuable lesson at the end.
