Interesting examples of North American Indian myths and origin tales.


(4 stars)

The reader sounds Native American, which adds an authentic feel and rich experience to these tales. Unfortunately, his very even tone and cadence sent me to sleep once or twice. Great tales, but included are tales based in Japan and India (as I recall), which are a little weird. Still, great reading (hearing)!

great book Best narrator


(5 stars)

so many narrators on this app have high pitch nasal or heavily accented voices. I love this narrator and could listen to him all day. I hope I can find more of him and hope they ask him to do more projects. I love the way these stories impart wisdom in a way all can understand.

wonderful bedtime stories
