Very violent.

Violent stories read in a soft voice. For example, a mother tells daughter she will part her hair using an axe. Then she kills her daughter, cuts out her heart and liver and turns them into a stew that she gives to the girls father. No lesson or morals, just terrible stories. Not comfortable having my child listen to these.

Sick to my stomach

I downloaded this to listen on my car ride to work with my son. He’s 4 months old. And they are stories about chopping off children’s heads and such. Not happy. I must have missed the part where it explained what these books talked about.

Disappointed

I should have been wary because of the price. Some of these stories don’t seem appropriate for children and the narrator repeats herself & even coughs while reading one story.

Under a dollar for a bunch of classic stories

Great classic stories! Three little pigs, Jack and his beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella and many more. All easy to understand and perfect for my little cousins. They love listening to them before bed. Not sure why the negative review, these are all classics and the few that might be scary you don't have to listen to with your kids until they are older.

Terrible on so many levels. Please don't buy this

Wow. I paid 66 cents - you get what you pay for. Inappropriate themes for kids. Colloquialism/phrases being used but strangely without the accent you would expect. Grammar is beyond poor... stuff I would not want my kid repeating. How no one went back to the drawing board with this one is beyond me.

Not for children

Stories often include death dismemberment and other implications some might find inappropriate for children stories.

Disappointed.

So sad. The narrator was coughing in the middle of the story. but it was only .66cent so not complaining about the price. just because this is for kids doesn't mean it should be pour quality.

Was this even edited?

Good old fairytales from my childhood, but wow! The narrator coughs in a few stories. There are whole parts repeated in a number of stories. Guess I got my $.66 worth!
