I wanted to love this. I think the stories would be wonderful, but the reader has an accent that makes it difficult to enjoy.

Didn't finish

(3 Sterne)

I've given three stars for the stories I actually listened to. However I didn't listen to the majority of the stories as I wasn't a fan of the narrators. If you don't mind the narration, I think this book would be enjoyable for both adults and kids.
