Brave Irene is Irene Bobbin, the dressmaker's daughter. Her mother, Mrs. Bobbin, isn't feeling so well and can't possibly deliver the beautiful ball gown she's made for the duchess to wear that very evening. So plucky Irene volunteers to get the gown to the palace on time, in spite of the fierce snowstorm that's brewing - quite an errand for a little girl. But where there's a will, there's a way, as Irene proves in the danger-fraught adventure that follows.

Big as a mountain and stronger than a grizzly bear, Paul Bunyan was the greatest lumberjack ever to swagger through the North American forests. All the larger-than-life characters in Paul's supporting cast are here, including Babe the Blue Ox, eating her ton of grain a day, and Hotbiscuit Sally, with her acre-and-a-half griddle. The outrageous adventures of this quintessential American hero represent the very best in the proud tradition of American storytelling.

This modern version of the original from the master storytellers, the Brothers Grimm, will captivate young listeners.

There he meets a band of odd fellows playing a game of ninepins. After sharing a flagon of strange brew, Rip falls into a deep sleep for 20 years. When he wakes up, he finds that his home is a very different place indeed. This story is a wonderful reminder about making the most of your life.

Wonderful narrator!
What about Pauline Brailsford’s performance did you like?
I love Pauline Brailsford's narration of the Beatrix Potter collection. I wish audible had more Beatrix Potter stories narrated by her. I have Tom Kitten, Jeremy Fisher and Benjamin Bunny.

Cute drawings for the animals
Synchronized images worked on my iPhone.
I forgot how old this story was, so you might have to explain what a currant and a gardening hoe are... That’s always fun! Lol
Other than that, the drawings and background music are cute and the narrator was perfect for this audiobook.
