Summary: Tales from a s-l-o-w-e-r era
Review: I bought this to listen to in the car with our children. It sounds like it is being read by aliens who learned English from ancient radio broadcasts, and who are speaking extra slowly to avoid making any mistakes. The diction is archaic, too: "Who would be herald to mistress Spring?" This may be good for putting your children to sleep, but it had my wife begging me to throw it out the car window. My eight-year old claims he likes it, though.

Summary: AudioFile Magazine: Wonderful, gentle stories for children.
Review: Reading character parts, McDaniel, Sussman and Miller retell four of Burgess's stories featuring Peter Rabbit in his quest to find out why animals are so different from one another. The number of readers per story varies from two to three, adding vocal variety to the set. These gentle tales are performed in equally gentle tones, with mild excitement and subtle surprise. The younger sounding male voice adds enthusiasm and energy to the story while the older one brings a "grandfather's" tone of maturity. Sussman's female voice helps separate parts and adds a balance to the two male voices. P.A.J.

Review: These animal stories are read to keep the younger child interested, read by some very good readers and the music is very calming and would make great bedtime stories. Even the small child will listen to these very cute animal stories with a message.
