Critiques

nursery rhymes for adults


(2.5 étoiles)

If you are a fan of nursery rhymes you might like these little ditties. Some are clever, some overdone stretching alliterations too far. Narration was poor for several but I’m guessing it is because the cadence was off and that can make it different to read. Found nothing memorable or worth listening to again. But You aught to try one for yourself.

Very Entertaining
