Good activity for alone time

"My 4yo dd got this package about a month ago. She has really enjoyed sitting in her room and "reading" these books by herself. She won't sit through all three stories, but she will sit through the first two. This alone time gives me about a half-hour where I can get other projects done around the house.
At night, some nights, my daughter insists on listening to the CD while falling asleep. The voice for the reading is very calming. The beeps to signal to turn the page are obvious, but not annoying. I think that's why she wants to listen while falling asleep.
My daughter has never seen any of these movies, but she knows who Pooh Bear, Roo, and Piglet are. She does enjoy these books. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars, though, is because I think the CD should include the version of each story where there aren't any beeps. The CD only has the 3 tracks for the 3 stories. It would have been nice to have the stories replayed without the beeps."
Storage box needs work

"The three star review is for the packaging material only. The disk is NOT held securely in the package, and slid around quite a bit during transportation. Once the box is opened, you have to find a cd holder to store the cd in.
The cd and books are fantastic - five star worthy. Both my children (5 and 2) enjoy "reading" with these books to the point they will disappear into their rooms for hours. We have bought several sets of these cd/books over the past few years and are very pleased with the quality. The children like hearing the characters and song snippets, and being prompted to turn the page when it is time."
