4.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommend, 6 Aug 2005

By	"tx_colliers" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Just So Stories (Classic Literature with Classical Music) (Audio CD)

I bought this for my nearly 6 year old son. He has really enjoyed listening to the stories. He can listen to several or just a couple of stories depending on his mood.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous, 16 Sep 2001

By	Ms. M. Hannan (Sussex, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Just So Stories (Puffin Classics) (Paperback)

Incredibely funny, and so well told, the Just So Stories explain how everything, from the leopard's spots, to the alphabet, came into being. First read to me when I was a child, they grow better each telling and even now when I want something good to read my hand instantly wanders to this book on my shelf. Definitely recommended to children, teens, and adults alike, a super book all round.

5.0 out of 5 stars This audio tape is a wonderful gift for any child ., 5 Mar 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Just So Stories: Unabridged (Puffin Classics) (Audio Cassette)

The Just So Stories are a real pleasure to listen to. Tony Robinson, with his fantastic range of voices and tones brings to life a host of wonderful characters : man, woman and beast. Kipling's poetic language is thoroughly enjoyed and absorbed by my five year old son who requests the tape for every car journey, at bedtime, first thing in the morning (our first lie-in in years)and even of a rainy afternoon.He quotes lines from "How the whale got its throat", adores the story of the first cat "who walks by himself and all places are alike to me" and frequently comes out with gems of information about the pull of the tides and such like.This audio tape is great value for money giving two and a half hours of stories and poems with short well composed musical interludes. It is a far cry from those awful singalong tapes and is full of humour and interest that is enjoyed by the adults as much as the children.It makes a wonderful gift for any child and is a welcome distraction from the lure of t.v. and playstation.

This is the best one to get - it's a facsimile of the first edition, in hardback, and with all the original Kipling illustrations. Accept no substitutes.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
I found Tony Robinson's reading of these stories very disappointing.Some of the language used is not everyday speech, and this rendering is much too fast. Read more
