Need a second book.

I remember these books from my childhood. Was hoping that there would be a few more on there. Would be fantastic if they could do another one with the remaining stories. My Sons dyslexic and it helps him to read along to the stories, so we’ve mastered theses. Over all have loved listening to these, would just like more of them.

Review Happy Families the Audio Collection

This is a great book. My favourite story is probably Ms Wobble the Waitress.
I recommend this book to anyone who is under the age of 10 because I am 8 and love it a lot.

Still a classic and wonderful performance

I loved these stories when I was a child and bought them to play to my daughter. Highly recommended.

A great set of stories and excellently read by Alexander Armstrong. The children enjoyed listening to them.
