My 17 month old loves these audiobooks. We have the paper copy too but he enjoys to listen to it without it. The music is lovely and Paltrow has the most soothing voice. It’s perfect for bedtime and my son often falls asleep to this. Highly recommend!!!

17 month old adores this!

My 2.5 year old LOVES listening to all the Brown Bear books He recites along with Gwenyth Paltrow, who by the way, has a very calm and gentle voice. This certainly helps when you're listening to the books numerous times in one day!

Great Listen!

My 2 year old listens to this every. single. night. While I can't say GP's character "voices" are that great, she is pleasant enough to listen to, which is important when you have listened to her for the past 90 consecutive nights- sometimes more than once.

This is the 4 "bear stories". GP gets calmer and quieter with each one, helping your little one to relax and doze off. Problem? After baby bear, the last story of the 4, when the child is near sleep, it automatically goes into the Spanish versions- which start out loud and full of energy- jolting the kid awake.

I wish they had set it up where the bedtime timer could correspond with the end of the English version.

My 2 year old cannot get enough

My girls, 1 1/2 and 3, love these books! Now they can listen along if mommy or daddy is too busy to read. I originally chose the audio books for a road we were taking, but my girls love to listen to them even when we are just driving around town. My oldest also loves to listen to them when she is having quiet time in bed while sissy naps. I love the narration by Gwyneth Paltrow. She has such a lovely voice and we love the little character voices she does!

Beloved Books, Wonderful Narration

There is no mention when you go to buy it that half of it is in Spanish. This is supposed to be calming for sleep or relaxing time. not in 2 different languages.
