Boring Book
Th butterfly lion is one of the most strange and confusing stories that I have ever read. The narrator was all slurred and I couldn’t understand what he was saying.

Awful narration
Terribly narrated in most unengaging way with little emphasis or expression which makes listening to the stories tedious. The stories themselves are ok but and good because suitable for both my 4 and 8 year old but they're really let down by the narration. Maybe good for getting kids to fall asleep!

Must read
I read this over 15 years ago- I had forgotten some of the plot - moving, sentimental in the most brilliant way, super storytelling, audio perfect for the characters. So glad I went down memory lane for this. Probably for older children but I enjoyed it so much.

The Butterfly Lion
The Butterfly Lion is one of my favourite story's . It is a very uplifting story about a young boy named Bertie. Bertie saw a white lion but when he went to tell his family nobody believed him but he kept believing in himself. And throughout the entire story I felt like I was there because the book was so informative about every little thing this book is impeccable I would recommend it to any animal lover!!

poor narrative
excellent story and settings but somehow narration seems too weak to excite the novel ideas.
