Good Classic

My 4 year old loves this audiobook. She plays it at night before she goes to sleep. The only thing I don't like about it, is it seems have many things going on at once. Other than that, it is a good dramatization of a classic.

Too different from the story my kids were expecting

From Dorothy’s ‘silver’ slippers to the conversations, this veers far from the story we all know and love. Wish we could have returned it. We loved ‘A Little Princess,’ also by BBC, but this one was a miss.
