My five year old loves the stories

Even though I, admittedly, do not find the storylines that captivating my five year old absolutely loves them. The one about the snake in school is his personal favourite and he asks to listen to it time after time...

loving it. it's on repeat

my 4 and 2 year olds love the 3rd and 4th stories.
the reading and sound effects are great, so much so, that their older siblings don't object.

too many innuendos for smarter Children

I'm not sure why penis Jokes and tickling penis were acceptable for a children's book.
