The more I listened to this book the more my rating dropped. I just got sick of the repetition of themes and storylines. Even though they were from different countries there were too many stories of beautiful people falling instantly in love with each other. I was familiar with several of the stories, having read them in other anthologies. I skipped one of these, plus another story that I found depressing.
This book wasn’t all bad, I think my main problem was listening to it too quickly. I show more think if I’d just read it occasionally I would have overlooked the things that bothered me. show less
This book is a nursery rhyme and young children will love it. It also teaches children to take care of the things they have.
