Publisher's summary

Humor fans of all ages will love these hairy tales! Nine stories full of rhymes, morals, and wit - or just plain silliness and absurdity! Great fun for children and adults alike, these crazy tales come from the bonkers mind of author Clifford James Hayes and are brilliantly narrated by Sheree Wichard.

Join the Ugly Mermaid on her amazing undersea quest to discover why she's so hideous, and find out why Veronica the Velociraptor has such very bad teeth! Discover Aubrey's Smelly Adventure in the Land of Bernards, and learn that it can be cool to be different in Shipwreck'd Sarah and the Silly-Looking Pirates!

Are you brave enough to meet the hideous, toad-fearing Grandma Grunt? And what dreadful fate awaits Horrid Horatia, the fearsome lady-slug? Baron Tuskogee pays a terrible price for his greed in "The Walrus Story," stinky old Podge the pig revolts in more ways than one, and the dreaded Lurgatron threatens to take over the world! All this (and a great deal more!) can be found in Hairy Tales!

Harry Potter. The characters were interesting

Any additional comments?

Very Enjoyable.

Tales of hilarity and and the bodily function humor fit for a ten year old

Laughed during the whole thing...the last sort my boys and I played over and over five times in a row laughing so hard we had tears coming down our faces. The narrator was PERFECT for the role. Well written and well read. I received this audiobook from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookblast in exchange for an unbiased review

Well read, silly and light

These short stories are very creative, written in a way that expresses how children think when they are being silly together.

The narrator adds depth to the stories and helps the listener easily imagine each character. The flow that she creates makes it easy for any listener, young or old, to follow each adventure.

I would recommend this for children, during trips or rainy spells, to keep the boredom away.

Although I am not considered young, I still enjoyed listening as the narrator performed each story.
