We love these stories but having full credits at the end of each story is such overkill! Just do it at the end. Ruins an otherwise great story collection!

Infuriating credits

I like how the stories are perfect for kids. There’s nothing I didn’t like. The stories are very good. (Amelie age 9)

Loved the stories, the narration and the production but why do we have to hear the full publishing rights at the end of each book and not just stick them at the end?! Breaks up the nice relaxing bedtime ambiance that we're listening to this for! A real shame.

Great compilation but irritating credits after every book!

I'm a grandma ,a little old fashioned, a lot of children's literature seems a little sinicle and unthinking to me. loved these stories for little ones and fits well with syllabuss that use rhyme in starting to read.
great fun as well 😀 👍

fun little stories with a feel good factor

Only listening through all together do I realise how many of the stories from Rachel Bright just have no female characters at all! The production of this audio book is terrible it’s all credits at the end of every story rather than all together at the end. Also Bill Nighy seems to just read through as quickly as possible to get it over with. Disappointing

Stories are ok but production is awful
