Critic reviews

"Streep's emotional narration, along with the beautiful music...bring these two classic short tales to life and will capture your children's attention and imagination." ( Parenting Magazine)

I enjoyed Meryl Streep's narration

The backround music is humorous, it is from the 80's. I have listened to it twice so far.

61 years young, I love it, child hood fav.

It calms me as if I was 6 years old. I will listen again and again thank you so much.

Odd music good story

Long periods of elevator music, sometimes between sentences. Makes following the story difficult for kids. Classic story, great narration, but experience is not helped by the accompaniment of music, which nearly tripled the length of the audiobook unnecessarily.
