- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was obviously written for children, but should have been presented as such, and that’s why it has such a poor rating from an adult reader such as myself. For a children’s book it serves its purpose well. It’s a slower spoken English for the audiobook version that is well suited for teaching English as a foreign language - I would recommend it for this purpose.
