Classics are all abridged?!
Our family got a Yoto mini for Easter along with some shorter stories for my 3yo (llama llama, Winnie the pooh) a bunch of classic stories for my 5 yo. She's not reading independently yet, but she goes through audiobooks like nobody's business, with INSANE listening comprehension. The Yoto quickly became her "audiobook machine" and she whipped through Anne of Green Gables, Secret Garden, Jungle book, and Little Princess.
I was reading Treasure Island to her at bedtime, and she told me she wanted to keep listening to it on her Yoto. Sure, no problem. Then she tells me the Yoto story is wrong. It's not the same book we've been reading. Sure enough, she's right. The Yoto version is different. In fact, it seems like all of the classics she's been reading are actually "yoto original" versions. I THOUGHT that just meant performed and produced by Yoto, but evidently it ALSO means abridged and edited by Yoto.
Did I miss where these books are labeled as abridged? Are they all abridged? I thought I was buying the actual books for her and now I feel like I've been conned. I guess I should've known since there's no way to read Oliver Twist in under 2.5h (Dickens was paid by the word, and it shows). But I'm legitimately upset by this.
