Unfortunately the recordings are tinny and echoey. If that echo goes sound goes away the readers will be good to listen too. Cannot listen now and I think this will be a good book too.

A delightful story full of lessons in how to live a number of virtues that were woven beautifully into the story! It was difficult to always understand the one Male reader.

It good moral to the story :) happy ending. One reader was pretty hard to understand.

Delightful. Refreshing. The storyline might be considered predictable, but the world would be a gentler place if the kindness in this story were a bit more predictable in real life.
