Customer Reviews

Excellent
I have read almost all of the AMS children's books to my 7-year old son and they are his current faves - this is typical. Stories are always gentle and well worded, and there's plenty of scope for parents to try out their accents for the different characters!

Fun for the kids
My kids love all of these. Would be nice to see a "box set" as they start to add up when you buy 4 or 5 like I have.
