This review is from: Arabian Nights (Audio CD)

This is a great way to expose young readers to a more advanced story. My kids, ages 7 and 10, love to listen to this tape over and over again. Great for long rides to see grandma. I highly recommend it.

I am an art teacher. While they work, I play instrumental music and stories for my students ages 10-14. Jim Weiss's Tales from the Arabian Nights was a big hit. The students were rapt with attention and asked to hear the stories again. I will be buying more of his CD's.

Arabian Nights
My 6 year old was hooked from the start. This version maintained the exotic flavor of the original while presenting the stories in a child friendly phrasing. I have read the full version and love it, but the language is sometimes too elaborate and complex for a child. This is written perfectly for kids. The narrator has a nice voice, easy to listen to. Well done.

The problem is that there are only 4 or 5 stories on this disc. Ali Baba and the 40 thieves being the only one everyone would recognize. The others are great stories I just don't know the names. I really really wish they would add book 2, 3, 4 etc. Yes it does recommend going to the library to get the book to read more stories, and we probably will find a kid friendly book version. However we are in the car a lot and want to listen to books as we travel. This CD lasted about an hour I believe. And WE WANT MORE!

I am looking at other audio books of the Arabian Tales, so we can hear different stories but NONE of them list all the stories that are included on the disc.
