This book is not yet featured on Listopia. This is a brief, kid-friendly survey of folk stories from around the world. The narrators are appropriately animated for a young audience, and would probably be ideal for listeners between five and eight? Maybe up to ten? The tales are still charming, but I suspect their peak appeal would be for children in primary school, read one or two stories at a time.

One person found this helpful. Wonderful and hypnotic is what I would call this. The first story I played for my two girls 6 and 8 in the car on the way to school.
It was the first time they ever made it the whole ride in total silence. When I picked them up, they asked right away. So So this is what we have done the last three days; listen to a new story on the way to school.

I'm only on the third, The Selkie Bride. My oldest daughter rushed into school and immediately began telling the tale to the first friend she ran into. I can't say enough good about this. The children are captivated and it provides great discussion topics, for example, after the SECOND time we listened to A Sense of Theft, I asked my daughters what they think the judge felt about the case against Zena. I, myself, had to run errands today and listened to the rest of the tales. The depth, the humor, the underlying celebration of the human spirit, all in such clever packages is something I will always enjoy bringing to my children.
I'm always on the lookout for a good cd or an audiobook to play in the car for the kids. The trick is finding something that your children will enjoy, and that will not compromise your sanity when you've heard it for the grazillionth time. This is one of those CD.
I enjoy listening to it, and especially my 2 favorites - "a sense of theft" a smart, humoristic Yiddish story and "Boat man's howling daughter" in which the the narrator howls so joyfully and enthusiastically it makes me want to to trap a gang of robbers and howl as well - Yeee Haaaaaaaaaaawwwww!!!!! Each story is read by a different voice actor, and they do a good job of acting out the stories, but not overly so, if you know what I mean.

You have stories from different parts of the world, so this would be a good way to introduce you child to different cultures. Though some stories have some drama in them, they do not contain ANY violence or cruelty like some of the most popular fairy tales do - like snow white or red riding hood and are very appropriate even for young children. I would recommend this to yrs old. I used one of the stores as a children's story in church and everyone, young and old loved it. We bought this for my 3 yr old daughter, who we're trying to get into audiobooks in the car.
A couple of these stories are duds, story-wise, but they're all well produced and well read. Fantastically read by wonderful storytellers. Each story is a gem.
