I love it

It is so good I love it and so do my boys
It’s a fun and silly story for kids
You should listen to it 🙂
Well some people say that when the the animals chase the boy it’s a little intense
But I do not think that is true

Delightful stories

My children have listened to this over and over again from when they were 3 or 4 years old, and are still delighted by it. It is a magical story and a great first chapter book!

Great story for long drives and little ones

My two boys love this story. They listen any time we’re in the car for more than 30 minutes, and this story keeps them engaged and quiet. I’m a big fan :)

A classic my children and I love to listen to!

My children and I love this book. I got it in hardback for my oldest daughter who is just learning to read, so I also just bought it on audible so she can follow along with her book.

Fun story for a change of pace

I bought this because my almost preschool aged kids are obsessed with the Winnie the Pooh (Stephen Fry) and Laurie Berkner audiobooks and I needed a change of pace. They really didn’t get into it, but I did, so still 4 stars. I think the story and performance were good but there’s only one main character and the rest come through for very short periods of time, which makes it less interesting as a kid’s audiobook, IMO.

Thumbs up from my boys!

A bit eccentric, but well told and highly entertaining for my four sons (ages 3-9) My crew is usually sensitive to conflict and frightful antagonists, so we stick to non-violence. This story is tame while still wonderfully engaging, with a well-paced plot and unexpected turns in the narrative. The dragon is kind and helpful, not scary or violent as dragons often are. The narration is fantastic. This is a story my kids ask for again and again. Enjoy!

Totally awesome and the best according to a 6 and 9 year old

My son has loved this series since he was four. Now he (9) and his little sister (6) listen to it on Audible and enjoy the ingenuity and humor. I asked them for their reviews and they had nothing but superlatives. Totally awesome. The best. Absolutely hilarious. They listen to a wide variety of good quality books and this continues to be a favorite
