Needs Chapter names
Lazy publishers who don’t name audible chapters deserve one star reviews. I’m sure the stories are great but I hate having to guess which chapter is which book. Sort it out. This is not rocket science!

You don't know which book you're on as no headings
Great performers but we can't really use this book. My daughter only likes certain books (is scared by others at night) but there is no way of knowing when one book ends and another begins - let alone chapter starts and endings! Given this is what Audible does - makes audio books - you'd have thought they could sort this one out! Same problem with many of their kids collections.

Irritating lack of chapter titles!
The narrator's are great, stories are great but the into and not being able to see which story you want is seriously irritating!

Brilliant for bedtime but not much else!
Saw this as I was browsing the Audible Plus collection. These timeless tales for kids young and old have delighted and enchanted me over the years. I was delighted with the performances and usually choose one of these to fall asleep to if I'm struggling to drift off. These tales however are very and I do mean very heavily abridged. You can find these as solo downloads elsewhere, so if there's a tale you particularly want to read then please feel free to get the unabridged version and read them as the author intended.
