too fast

The Narrator reads too fast. I thought my speed was set faster than normal but was disappointed when I realized it was the narrator rushing through the story.

slightly rushed narration

With playback slowed to 90%, quite nice and a good pace for kids. No other complaints.

Best soothing bedtime story! We love the speaker and the story is lovely!!

My daughter and I listen to this story every night as we cuddle in her bed so she can fall asleep. The woman who reads this book does such an amazing job. She’s absolutely perfect for it. No one else compares. Love it!!!

Moving story. Narrator didn't quite do it justice.

I adore this sweet, impactful, wise story. This narrator read quite quickly, which I usually prefer, but in this case I felt that she was rushing a bit too much, to the detriment of the tale. She also kept a very light tone throughout, but this story is bittersweet and should, I think, be read with a bit of sensitivity to that.
