I was disappointed for two reasons: first too much background music made it difficult to hear the reader; secondly, the writers changed the story. Why try to "improve" upon a classic like the Three Little Pigs??

Turn off those in-car dvd players. Take off the ipod head phones. Instead, parents, slap in these cd's and take your kids on a magical trip while driving to the store. The stories in this series are short, and better than sweet. They are interesting, well read, and backed up with beautiful music. The readers are all actors, and the stories so well read your kids will ask you not to turn off the car when you get to where you are going. My favorite - The Tiger and the Brahman read by Ben Kingsley.

I like Rabbit Ears, but I have to say this one has been the all time favorite amongst any child I have ever had listen to these. They like the others, but they want to hear this one again. The voices are superb in this one and enough sound effects to keep their attention.

Our family (5-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son) has enjoyed several of these Rabbit Ears collections while on the road. The stories are long enough, but not so long that attention wanders, and the music is lovely, too.
