## Description

A lively collection of nineteen five-minute stories - a mixture of old and new, from Perrault's LITTLE RED RIDING-HOOD and the traditional tale of THE GINGERBREAD MAN to Margaret Mahy's HORRENDOUS HULLABALOO and Dick King-Smith's BLESSU. There are stories about animals, magic and mermaids - and much more too in this very special book.

Review: Perfect length for bedtime stories. - Bought as a gift for bedtime stories, when everyone is tired. The children enjoyed the stories.
Review: Perfect bedtime stories - Perfect bedtime stories, read by two very talented storytellers who do great and varied voices. My four-year-old loves listening to these CDs at bedtime as she's going to sleep. I would definitely recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect length for bedtime stories.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect bedtime stories

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely short audio stories for young kids
*by D***A on 6 December 2019*

Wonderfully told short stories featuring the voice of Sophie Aldred- who is amazing at capturing several different characters and flipping seamlessly between them. I don’t like the male story teller as much, he needs to slow down and differentiate the narrators voice more obviously from the characters in the stories
