Customer Reviews
Kids enjoy it :)
My 4.5 and 3 yo like listening to it.
My kids love it!
Just the right length and level of engagement for my kids. Love the songs at the end - Martin Austwick is great and should get credit in the podcast bio and episode info. His music is perfect for this format!
Needs more episodes
My kid loves it but it needs more episodes so she doesn’t have to listen to the episodes over and over again.
