The stories are continuous on these CDs - you cannot skip from one fairy tale to the next. When you push the skip button, it just fast forwards. Every time you play the CD, it starts at the beginning. So, to get to a different story, you have to keep searching and searching. Very difficult to find the beginning of the fairy tales. Much more trouble than it's worth!!!

These stories are the real tales as written by the original authors so there is some "chopping off of heads" and witchcraft and whatnot. You will want to listen to them before deciding whether or not to share them with your children. I will say that my six year old son loves them and listens to the CDs repeatedly (and he's a smart, normal boy). The worst part is that the stories don't break so you have to start at the first story each time you pop a CD in. There's no skipping ahead unless you do a manual forward. That's no fun but kids don't seem to mind that as much as we adults do.

These are the original tales so it has a lot of death and to me graphic detail that our generation is not accustomed too. After about 5 stories I had to turn it off. I did not want my kids who are around 4 to hear any more without me going through the rest of the tales myself first.
