    Treasure Island was a little bit scary, but that was the only one I did. I just got too scared in the second part.

  • Goodnight.

    My favorite! I’ve listened to the same things so many times and I don’t remember them because I always fall asleep. Elizabeth reads so well and no mouth noises—really none. I don’t always like when people do voices but I LOVE her voices! Especially piglet and the bear prince (you’ll see when you hear them).
