My kids are loving this author

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. All I can say is that the narration is fantastic. My kids (3) have been looking forward to listening to this fairy story shorts. So far we have listened to this one (Sleeping beauty), the princess and the pea, and we are looking forward to listening Aladdin and the wonderful lamp.

I highly recommend for children of all ages.

This very short fairy tale is perfect for a quick bedtime story. The narration is pleasantly done in a calm tone. My granddaughter not only loves this story, but doesn't take long to nod off after listening. I was given a free copy of this book at my request and have voluntarily decided to leave this review.

Classic fairy tale

Solid narration of an old favorite, with just enough differences from the Disney version to hold kids' interest. Just the thing for bedtime or long car trips.

Sweet short story

This is a sweet narration of the classic story of Sleeping Beauty. I loved the imagery of the frozen castle, I thought that was really well done. It's a perfect short story for bedtime, and I enjoyed the narration, the recording was well done. I requested a copy of the audiobook, and I'm voluntarily leaving a review.

Great Short Bedtime Story

This was a fun and short retelling of the classic Sleeping Beauty fairy tale. Clive did a wonderful job with the narrating and it was fast enough that it is a perfect bedtime story for young children.

Short and Sweet, Perfect for Bed Time

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Clive Johnson wrote and narrates this version of Sleeping Beauty. He has a polite, soothing voice that narrates a version of the tale that hits most of the familiar plot points. The one big change he makes from the most popular versions of the story are the elimination of fairies (instead using Wise Men and Women) and sanitizing the relationship between the Prince and the Princess from the original tellings of the tale in order to make it kid friendly.

His recording does have a little bit of an echo but otherwise this is a short and sweet story you can listen to or share with your children.

Kids loved it!!!

Everyone should know the story so my review is about the narrator.

He did a great job in engaging the listener to be attentive to the retelling of a great story. My kids managed to sit there the whole time to listen and was thoroughly impressed with he story. Great job Clive.

Short and sweet

This is a standard version of the sleeping beauty story. The narration was good enough but the tale didn't leave the narration much room to shine. The story isn't particularly dramatic nor are there very many voices. My kids seemed to enjoy it though.
