56/100
👎 Skip It
Five whimsical tales - a flying cow, a treasure hunt, a heroic elephant - sound fun on paper, but this one comes with a real red flag: at least one family found the British-accented narration hard for young kids to follow and said they wouldn't try this narrator again. Given that plus a thin ratings pool and mismatched crediting between author and narrator, I'd skip this one for now.

🎙 Narration: rough At least one parent reported their kids couldn't understand the British-accented narration and wouldn't try this narrator again - worth sampling before buying.
