These are cute, fun stories told for all audiences. The humor is cute, not necessarily clever or witty but the kind of book you could read aloud to the whole family...amusing for the lowest common denominator. "Wholesome storytelling" is how I would describe it.I had the audible version which, in my opinion can make or break a book. A bad performance could make Gone with the Wind wish that you were. Conversely, a great reader can make the phonebook interesting. The narrator of this audio book reads with enthusiasm and vigor. Fortunately, however, these were short stories because the performance was, although not bad, a little over-enthusiastic which could get extremely tedious in a longer book. But for an hour, she was pleasant enough to listen to. It felt a little bit like storybook time in a classroom, where the reader would over inflect with excitement to keep the young listeners engaged.If you're looking for something simple and unoffensive to play in the car on a short road trip with kids or grandparents or both, this would be a good choice.Sample provided for review purposes.
