Excellent!
This book is a brilliant resource to learn Dutch if you are not yet at an advanced level. It is really well put together and combines learning through reading and listening at the same time to improve Dutch language acquisition. The book is set at beginner/advanced beginner level so it is mostly understandable for learners at a beginner level but also pushes the reader forward so you are improving language skills and knowledge. I have made real progress improving my Dutch language skills using this book. The stories are not too long and are also interesting and packed with useful vocabulary and phrases. Highly recommended.
I genuinely hope the writer publishes more books like this for Dutch language learners, I would certainly purchase them.

Off audible purchase necessary
I have no complaints about the quality of the story or the recording. the reading appears clear and the vocabulary correct for a2-b1 level. The problem is that the whole premise of this title, is that you are meant to read along with the listening. The PDF included with the purchase only contains vocabulary and a link to another website where you are expected to pay a further amounts to acquire the book. In fact, you end up buying the whole audio book again at a total cost that exceeds the cost advertised on the other website.
So the advice is... don't waste your credit here, it'll cost you more overall.
