From AudioFile

This production, great for younger listeners and new readers, includes two Lobel favorites--MOUSE TALES and MOUSE SOUP. In the first, Papa mouse tells his little mice seven stories (one for each mouse) in exchange for their promise to go to sleep when he's done. In the second, Mouse must talk his way out of becoming weasel soup. Both stories, for beginning readers, are read by author-illustrator Lobel, who does a wonderful job bringing their light and quirky humor to life. Listeners will enjoy his fatherly voice as he strolls through these simple but pleasing tales. J.C.G. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

5.0 out of 5 stars The Mouse Tales CD Audio Collection, January 3, 2007

I purchased this set for my grand daughter (3 1/2 yrs old)as she loves to listen to books on tape etc. However, do not make the mistake that I did -- this is a CD only so you need to purchase the books separately. She loves the tales and follows along in the book - the author is the narrator and has a wonderfully expressive voice.

My mom bought me the cassette tape of Mouse Tales when I was little and I used to fall asleep to it every night. Arnold Lobel's voice is so soothing and the stories are simple and sweet. When I found out my cherished childhood tape was now on CD, I just had to buy it for my 13 month old son! Now he listens to it during nap times and bedtime, and it works like a charm! :)
