Five Children and It

De: E. Nesbit

Narrado por: Noëlle Healy

When Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and their baby brother go digging in the gravel pit, the last thing they expect to find is a Psammead - an ancient Sand-fairy! Having a Sand-fairy for a pet means having one wish granted each day. But the children don't realize all the trouble wishes can cause... The five children find a cantankerous sand fairy, a psammead, in a gravel pit. Every day 'It' will grant each of them a wish that lasts until sunset, often with disastrous consequences.

The reading makes this painfull

The story is slow but interesting enough.
I feel sorry for the narrator/reading. She sound young and is trying. The problem is you feel like your in class listening to your teacher reading to you. That combined with the poor audio quality makes this hard to listen to for long times.

Terrible audio

This is a good story, but it is ruined by the horrible audio. The narrator either has an accent or is just hard to understand.

a bad beginning

Alrighty then. I couldn't even get through the first minute of the book. Mainly because of the narrator. Her voice is so tiny and she sounds like she is reading while she is in the bathroom.
I will be back later when I get more time to listen and then I will leave a much better (what I feel about the book)
I think that if I did have a few kids it might be a fun listen. But I don't have any.

Novice Narration

This narration is appreciated for jts convenience but this should be free. I wouldn’t have paid for it!

story is great reading I'd awful.

could nit finish the book. the reading was very bad breathy, reading speed is bad, noise quality is awful.

Terrible Recording

The narration is almost impossible to hear - it fades in and out and is unclear. The narrator might not be too bad with more practice and better equipment but this recording is truly awful. I bought this (for under $2) to go with my kindle purchase of the book so my kiddos could listen while reading - looks like we’ll just be reading on the kindle. …and I want my $2 back!

Poor quality

Couldn’t understand her or hear her. Poor quality and very disappointed we had to buy a new version.

Worst Audible I have listened to

I listen to 90% of my books and I was very excited to listen to this classic.
It was a bad recording.. the narrator talked too fast.. and in a dialect that was hard to understand. I even slowed it down to 95 and I still had a hard time staying with it.
Maybe reading this book would be good. But I just don’t think it’s for me.
Again terrible audio version. Audible I know you can do better
