I didn’t expect my son to love it as much as he does. Every evening he picks one story, climbs into bed, and asks for the “magic voices.” It’s helped us shift from TV before bed to something calmer and much more enriching. The stories are just the right length—not too long, not too short. Some even have fun little lessons that get him thinking. It’s been a win for both of us—less screen time and better sleep. Highly recommend if your bedtime routine needs a little love.

Listened to this with my niece and she was totally into it. The stories are short enough to keep her attention but still fun and creative. Some were silly, some had little lessons tucked in, and a few were just pure imagination—which I loved. It’s a great mix, and perfect for winding down before bed. The narrator has a warm, soothing voice too, which helped set the bedtime mood. Definitely keeping this one in our nightly rotation. Great for kids around 4 to 8!

This audiobook has transformed bedtime into my kids' favourite time of day! The collection of 25 imaginative stories - featuring everything from brave dinosaurs to sparkly fairies - perfectly captures young minds while gently winding them down for sleep.

As a parent, I especially appreciate how the audio-only format encourages my wiggly listeners to stay in bed with eyes closed, sparking their creativity without visual distractions. Each 5-7 minute story delivers just the right balance of adventure and calm.

We've made it our nightly ritual, and I love hearing my children beg, "One more story please!" A must-have for parents craving both magical moments and smoother bedtimes.

I picked up this audiobook hoping to make bedtime more relaxing, and it’s been such a nice change. The stories are short enough to keep my 5-year-old engaged, and they’re imaginative without being overstimulating right before sleep. I love that there are no pictures. She actually closes her eyes and listens! Some stories stand out more than others, but overall, it’s a charming collection we’ve enjoyed night after night. A solid choice for families looking to wind down together.

If you don't put the kids down on a sugar high, this book will help them relax and sleep. I started playing these stories during our bedtime routine, and they quickly became a favorite part of the night. I think there is something bonding about listening to an audiobook story together versus just reading aloud every night. The length of each story is just right—short enough to hold kids’ attention but still full of charm and imagination. I really appreciate the gentle, calming vibe throughout the collection. It helps ease the transition to sleep without feeling forced or overly sugary. The narration is smooth and easy to listen to, even for me. But the stories are more than cute; they inspire kids to learn about possibilities or live out dreams. If your little ones enjoy storytime, this one fits in beautifully without overstimulating them.

I got this for my grandsons when they stay the night, they loved them, they get really excited and there are certain stories they want to listen to over and over. The narrators got a really soothing calm voice and she really exaggerates the characters and sound effects which makes the stories more enjoyable. Has all the characters you’d want in a children’s story book, princess's, dragons, wizards, dinosaurs. Highly recommend.

Loved this!
