My kids loved this, but I was put off by the narration. So monotone I thought it was an electronic voice at first! Did enjoy his Australian accent, etc later, but the narration was disappointing overall. But a great story for sure!

Monotone narration; fabulous story!

This narrator has only one voice...speaks a but too quickly and makes it very hard to listen to.

Monotone...snooze

Downloaded this book as it was a prescribed reading for my 3rd grade daughter. We listed to it together to help her prepare for a reading test on this book. I ended up loving this whimsical short story so much that I looked up other books by this author.

Wonderful Story
