Amazing reading!
Kids and I love this book so much. We read it so many times we know all lyrics! The voice here is so special. You feel you are in the story at the same time. Very good.

Terrible version of a fabulous story.
The book is exceptional but this is a very disappointing narration. Bought it for bedtime for my toddler. He adores the book. But switched this off after 2 minutes to look for a better telling of it.

Not worth the cost
Not worth the cost of the audible version for the length of it. Should have been more than one story for that price.

Such a shame
This story is brilliant, and my little girl absolutely loves it, so I bought the audio book to listen in the car, unfortunately the voice actors high pitched portrayal and the random music in it completely spoil it! It's irritating and we didn't actually listen for more than 5 minutes in the end

Love this story.
But for a bedtime story it’s told very spooky and witch voices. Not too keen if I’m honest as only bought it for bedtime stories won’t be using again

One of the all time great childrens books
I have been reading my children the Gruffalo since they were born, and this audio book has taken that to a whole new level. It is heir favorite book, one that they enjoy listening to again and again. And so do I. Masterful story telling for children of all ages.

A classic
We had this on cd and my child is obsessed so we had to buy it so we could listen in other places besides the car! It’s a good length and a fun story for adults and kids alike

Brilliant childrens title
This is a great title for the kids to listen to, the narration is outstanding and the Gruffalo song at the end makes it a good listen to/sing along for the kids in the car.

Paints the story in your mind
This story was the #1 request by my class for naptime stories. It engaged every student and I enjoyed it too.
The voice performance, excellent!

Big hit with my 3 year old
My son asks to listen to this book all the time in the car. It's read very well and it's a cute story that captures his attention. We love this book - on audible and the paper book.

A beautiful witty story with a song at the end!
My child loves this book so when I found it on audible it was a no brainer... it’s very well narrated to keep a 2.5 entertained during a car ride ... love this book!

Review by my almost 7-year-old son.
I gave it 5 stars because I liked it very much and I hope you'll like it too. It has a lot of repeating words, but the characters are silly and fun. I am going to listen to it again, because it is so funny.
