Children's ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Three Little Pigs and Other Children's Favorites
Joseph Jacobs, Beatrix Potter & L. Frank Baum · 2025
🎙 Narrated by David DuChene, Shawn Ryskamp, Jenny Day, and Bart Allen Burger
70/100
👍 Worth It
A fun grab-bag of true classics — Three Little Pigs, a Beatrix Potter tale, and a couple of lesser-known Baum stories — read by a small cast that keeps things lively for young listeners. Heads up that this is the older, pre-Disney Three Little Pigs, so the wolf gets a slightly more old-school ending than the softened modern versions. The multi-narrator format works well enough, though quality varies a bit story to story.
