5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful travelling companion 10 Mar 2008
Format:Audio Cassette
An excellent collection of diverse stories narrated by top actors. My son absolutely adores this tape and giggles uncontrollably every time he hears the story about making pancakes, we now smile in anticipation of his mirth when we put it in the tape deck. Many others have also become firm favourites including the Martian in the Supermarket and the story about Anna-Magdalena being afraid of the dark. Highly recommended for long car journeys when tapes/CDs are often repeated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stories for 6 year-olds 23 July 2010
Format:Paperback
I bought this book for a (part of a) sixth birthday present and it was a huge success. It's just right for early readers to manage on their own. The favourite story was about a princess so I'm not sure if it might have a slight bias towards girls but I don't think that matters too much at this stage. I'm now looking for other titles at this reading level that would prove to be as popular
