good selection of classics, but slightly monotone.
...monotone delivery, and annoying that non of the chapters have titles - just show as chapter 1, chapter 2 etc, which makes it hard to find the one your child has requested.

terrible at bedtime
The stupid unnecessary tunes between the stories are at 3x the loudness of the narrator's voice. If you react too slowly, it'll wake your children up.
I basically throw a pillow at the tablet when a story ends and remove it when the banshee fanfare stops.
Were it not for this "feature", I'd happily give this all 5 stars.

Totally a waste of time (Not the stories)
What can I say! I am not happy with Audible putting this title out there knowing full well there is no indexing on this title. I purchased this so I could choose which story I wanted to listen to not to be forced to read the books before the one I want eventually comes up. Get it together audible or im leaving.

My children really enjoy these. The narrator does a brilliant job and there are some lovely sound effects and background noises that really set the scene. Would really recommend as something to play on car trips or at bed time.
