this one has pictures just like the book

so excited!!! This one has all the pictures that the book does and all the way through the story you can see just like in the book. Perfect for my littlest one who expects to see a picture for each part of the story just like sitting and reading a story from a book with Mommy and her lap.

I love the illustrations that play with the audio!

This is such an odd story but we love having a good library of audiobooks with images to enjoy. We've been slowly going through and buying the audible books from the With Synchronized Images category and have found that some are mis-categorized and don't have images. This one DOES have the original illustrations and we just love that!

Perfect for naptime wind down

My twin daughters love this book and we were excited to find in as an audio book. We listen to it before every nap time and it helps calm them. I especially love the music and sounds of rain in the background.

I like the audio version better than reading it aloud

This is one of those books that we all prefer to listen to rather than read. The narrator makes the story more fun and all of my kids love it (ages 2, 4, and 6).

Very cute!

Silly story and wonderful pictures. A great short listen.

Sounds like rain in the background.

LOVE this book!

I love the end where it speeds up. We did a story rope. The students also dressed as the characters and when they heard their name they would tiptoe to the front and “sleep”. The kiddos had a good time.
