Delightful!

My stepdaughter LOVES this audiobook. She remembered the stories from it a long time after listening to it. This book is a collection of folk tales from around the world. The stories are varied and interesting, and there are songs in many of them. The songs are well-integrated into their story and aren't grating like some children's music can be. The narrator does a very nice job. Overall, highly recommended for children or children-at-heart.

Just wonderful!

The more we listen to it, the better it gets! My 5 year old loves it, and I enjoy listening to it to. The songs get stuck in your head, which is kinda fun. Good for road trip entertainment. We don’t do screen time much, so audio books are a boon:) The dulcimer instrument really adds to the experience of the stories.

Joyful Fun!

My granddaughter loves these stories. She asks to listen to them every time she stays over and laughs and sings and thoroughly enjoys them.
