I love this book! The classic fairy tales, like the Old woman and her Pig, with a few new ones! I do see a lot of people like Joy Chan's reading. Personally, I think that she's good reader. She does keep saying H-woith instead of white. Her voice is clear and good, she read the whole book, I appreciate the effort. Thanks so much for taking hours and hours to read to us.The stories are pretty short so a lot can be covered in a small amount of time! The three Sillies is very funny. Normally I'd skip some bigger stories like above twenty minute-ones, but this is super small and good so I can hear all the stories without skipping, except the ones I already know.These stories have a lot of common sense and that's really good. Joseph Jacob's good work. I like the common humour and strategy of getting people to think about what's going on while listening.Totally worth listening to. P.S:I personally like fairy tales as they are different. Most of the fairy tales I hear are Andrew Lang's.
