Children's ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
10 Bedtime Stories for Children
Flora Annie Steel, Beatrix Potter, Johnny Gruelle, Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen & E. Nesbit · 2017
🎙 Narrated by Nicki White and Matt Stewart (Lark Audiobooks)
66/100
👎 Skip It
Ten stories from genuinely great names — Potter, Andersen, Grimm, Nesbit — read by a two-narrator Lark Audiobooks team for variety across a tidy bedtime-length listen. It's a safe, classic pick for young ears, though like its sister anthologies from the same publisher, no critic has reviewed it and I couldn't nail down exactly which ten stories made the cut. Good bones, just goes in a little unverified on the details.
