Goodreads

This variation of a wonderful classic just does not reach expectations.   The illustrations almost remain unchanged but a considerable amount of story line is truncated. This reviewer prefers the full-length book as much content and many illustrations are  lost in the press-and-listen edition.   About the sound, it did work the first time but when this reader went through a second time, the sound was quieter.

Some may be tempted to purchase for baby gifts but it is recommended to obtain the full-length version. The size is nice for little hands, but due to the sound box this is a heavy book for little ones.
