Two of these CDs are my 5 year old son's most requested choices for our 35 minute commute to and from school. He is particularly fond of the Mozart and Handel discs. The stories are interesting to the kids, and they put the classical music selections into new context for me as well. I actually hope the characterizations of the composers are fairly realistic--especially as Handel appears to have been quite the angel in the lives of many orphaned children.The Tchaikovsky disc is fine, but, somehow, not anyone's favorite.I agree with my son on the magnificence of the Handel disc, but I also really enjoy the medieval tone of the Unicorn disc, which doesn't really appeal to my little boy, though he'll listen to it if I tell him it is my turn to choose.Make no mistake--these are narrated stories with classical selections woven into the stories as a rich accompaniment. As audiobook-type stories for kids, these are really wonderful compared to others I've heard.
