The Olivia Audio Collection

This audio cassette is very entertaining, both my five year old and seven year old were laughing when I played it in the car. The music also tells the story and Dame Edna's delivery is perfect! Well worth the money.

Dame Edna's voice was not entertaining at all - My children listened to the first 2 minutes of the story and complained about the fact that the story teller had an awful voice. I had to agree. The voice does not bring Olivia's adventurous and dramatic nature to life. I was sorely disappointed.Bearing in mind that there is another review of this product that actually rates this as a 5 star product, I would recommend that you first listen to a video clip of Dame Edna to determine whether the voice is too your liking or not.

daughter enjoyed the stories

Great little box set for the car or for quiet time in the house with any fan of Olivia. Enjoyed.

My son LOVES the Olivia books, therefore we love this CD. I think we enjoy it more because we have read all of the books, "know" Olivia's sense of humor, and can picture the beautiful illustrations from the books, whereas children who have not read the books might miss some of the story since many times the humor is found in how the story is tied to the illustrations. It is frequently requested during car rides or while falling asleep at night by my 3 year old. It is relatively short, but I believe it actually contains all of the "real" Olivia books. Keep in mind, these go with the books, not the Olivia television show.

Mon enfant et moi avons adoré Olivia lu par Anne Gainstaren? sur le site de Nobles and Barnes, c'est pourquoi nous avons acheté le CD audio. Lorsque j'ai mit le CD ma fille à dit "maman cette dame est méchante" ce n'était pas la même voix mais celle d'une une certaine Madame quelque chose!!! et vraiment on dirait une sorcière qui fait peur aux enfants. Je suis très déçu. Je le rends. RETURN TO SENDER!!!

まずお断りから。これ普通の朗読CDじゃないですよ。すっげーぶっ飛んでます。なんてったってオリビアですもの。そして読み手はデイム・エドナですもの！ページごとに即興のピアノアレンジ（音質は保証します！）とデイム・エドナの芝居がかった声が聴こえます。ぜひ英語版のオリビアをめくりながら物語を堪能しちゃってください。もう最高！やっぱりオリビアはこうでなくっちゃ！

We love Olivia and Dame Edna so this couldn’t disappoint. Read with as much fun and quirky spirit as expected. The music choices are also really nice. I’m not sure how well the Olivia books work as a stand-alone audio format as so much of the humor is linked to the excellent illustrations. We read along while we listen!
