Where are the pictures?

We've been slowly going through and buying the books in the With Synchronized Images category. This one was placed in that category but doesn't show any illustrations other than the cover image - I wish we could get the illustrated audiobook version or exchange it for one that has pictures!

Excellent classic story and production!

Any additional comments?

The Weston Woods productions for young children are wonderful! Please add more of these and similar productions by Scholastic, etc. (classic picture books with narration) to Audible catalog.

My kids ask for this story all the time.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, it is a good story and entertaining to listen to.

What does Rex Robbins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

It feels more animated than when I read it.

Any additional comments?

Love all the background music. Really adds to the feel of the story.

Great story and reading

My son loved Dr. DeSoto, so I’m trying other books by Williams Stein. We all loved this one too!

Boring for mommy , great for the kids

The kids love the story, they said it was sad at first but has a happy ending. Great for bed or before nap time.
