Amego oso ,

awesome

this is a awesome but maybe make new stories instead of doing the same stories every season. Also, the ads are horrible and take way too long and the break in the middle is just way too much.

A tradition in our house every night!

Our kiddos are 6 and 8. We have gotten them to sleep with Circle Round for many years. We all love the stories, and they love Rebecca!
