One of the great things about audiobooks is their accessibility. It opens up the world of literature to people of a wide range of different abilities. If you or your child have impaired vision, then audiobooks are essential as a way to access the world of reading. They’re also great for child or adult literacy. If you or your child struggle with the words on the page or have difficulty sitting and concentrating on a book, audiobooks remove that barrier entirely. Some of our audiobooks are bundled with the traditional paper copy, so you can follow along with the story and develop your literary skills. It’s the best of both worlds!
One of our bestselling audiobooks is The Julia Donaldson Collection. Across 10 CDs it features readings of some of her best-loved stories, such as Room on the Broom and The Snail and the Whale. Each one features the story first as a narration, and then as a song. The set also includes Donaldson’s album The Gruffalo Song and Other Songs, which is a great singalong CD for long car journeys. If you can’t get enough of these magical stories, then this CD collection is an absolute must.
If you’ve got an MP3 CD player, then you must grab a copy of The Roald Dahl Audio Collection. Fourteen of his most beloved children’s books, from Fantastic Mr Fox to Matilda, and his two autobiographical books Boy and Going Solo, are included in this collection. Each CD contains the entire unabridged novel - no more swapping discs! The books are narrated by an illustrious array of talent, including Hugh Laurie, Kate Winslet, and Derek Jacobi. For longtime fans and new readers alike, this set is a celebration of Dahl’s funny, revolting, anarchic stories.
