41 Nice, Educational, Stories

This collection of 41 educational stories is nice. At 3-8 minutes per story it never gets boring but it also doesn't allow for much depth. Some stories really feel like they need the visual aids the book would have. Most stories are read in the cadence someone holding a book in front of a classroom of kids would use.
