Books for Kids: Bedtime Stories for Kids Ages 4-8
Uncle Amon · 2015
🎙 Narrated by Dorothy Deavers
46/100
👎 Skip It
Five gentle bedtime stories that do the job of winding kids down, but at 18 minutes total there is almost nothing here — thin characters, formulaic plots, and no memorable moments. Dorothy Deavers reads with warmth and a well-paced bedtime cadence, so if you do pick this up, the listening experience is at least pleasant.
