Classic

Amazing story for kids and adults alike. The voice of the reader in regard to each character made the book fun to listen to!

Great Entertainment

My 8 year old daughter and I listened to this in one go! We really enjoyed it.

The story

I loved the book it was so good very good good good loved it so much

Light, funny, magical listen.

This is a wonderfully entertaining story. The narrator does an excellent job bringing out the humor and magic of the characters and story without being too childish. The plot is somewhat predictable, but filled with so many imaginative, warm, odd, and funny moments it does not seem to matter. If you enjoy Roald Dahl, you may want to try it. This is a light and simple tale worth the listen!

Kids 7 & 9 enjoyed it

Entertaining enough to keep both children engaged during long car trip. Lovely accent of narrator. Humorous for adults too.
