Love this book anyway and great to have it as an audiobook. Unfortunately there are no chapter names though, so can’t easily skip around to required poems.

Great book, no chapter names

This audiobook featured fantastic performances of classically dark and cheeky Dahl rhymes, excellent for car journeys. You forget the kind of brilliant turns of phrase he used: a whizzing, fizzing kettle of tales!

4 year old loved it

I usually aim to download books that cost more than my monthly credit but there was a load of free stuff available this weekend so I decided to spend my credit on this. In short, my son loves it as well he should at five years old.

The narration isn't the best I've heard from these three actors but my son isn't at all bothered and wants to listen to it again and again.

Well worth taking a small hit on the price of a credit :-)

Great - What price happiness?

I didn’t dislike anything, just that sometimes the story’s were a bit too creepy for a children’s book but overall it was very nice to listen too

The creepy story’s is what stood out the most to me
