zzzzzzz

even for a child's bedtime story this was slowly read in my opinion. it was so slow it was putting me to sleep but I guess that's kind of the point.

Too slow

I know it’s a bed time story but the story was read much too slow! I can’t imagine children sitting for this.

Includes illustrations

We love reading books before going to bed and my 3 year old loves the illustrations.

Magic

We listen to this book when we travel and my 3yr old falls asleep to it every time. Thank you!!

A Classic

A Classic beloved children's book Even as an adult I enjoy this book it brings back fond memories

An all time favorite for my son

We love reading the book to my two year old son so having the book play through the speaker in his room gives a new dimension to story times

fun story for little kids

I had this book for my kids when they were very little and they loved it. So I decided to check out the audible version. the narrator does a good job but it's way too slow. There's lots of music in between each short sentence. The music was nice but I lost interest less than halfway though due to how slow it is.

I like that they include the pictures to look at while listening, since the pictures are what make the story . If this is your first time listening to this book and looking at the pictures it may not seem that slow to you. But if you are familiar with the story you are likely to be disappointed.

I had difficulty seeing the pictures on my smartphone. I would recommend using a tablet or computer instead.

Works great!

My 2 year old niece loves this story every night before bed. The images work great and the narration is wonderful because it is slow enough for her to follow along. It makes you feel like you have your own British nanny reading you to sleep!

Horrible scanned inaccurate photos of illustrations ruin experience

Of course this sweet nighttime classic by Margaret Wise Brown is a beloved book but do not waste your credits on this horrible version. You are much better off to use the free audio version from your local library on one of their platforms than use this one from audible.. I can't believe audible charges for this when they have actually used the worst scanned photos of the illustrations I've ever seen. Each page shows white hairs and fuzz! It really seems like they have bootlegged the photos illegally. In addition, the photos don't even match the book! Anyone who has read this book with a child knows the delight in the black and white photos being alternated with the gorgeous illustrations by Clement Hurd, who skillfully and sweetly slowly darkens the room with each successive drawing and leaves delightful changes so children can listen and also challenge themselves to find tge differences like finding the little mouse. But this audible version completely ruins all of this with their horrible photo copies. Not only do they use altered colored fakes for the black and white pages but the lighting is so terrible you can't even see the mouse. On the other hand the lovely music and voice over is soothing and well done. It's too bad audible has ruined such a sweet book. It would be better not to even include the photos then have the while experiment ruined.

Best kid story

This book has. Wen used at least a dozen times to calm my daughter down or to get her to sleep it has helped a lot
