Books on CD, for kids!  email this discussion to a friend?

I'm not an audio book person, but with my recent vacation, we bought a couple for the trip. They kept us awake and were very entertaining. While I was in a Barnes and Noble, I found a couple of books on CD for kids. A sales lady told me that they only had a couple of them, but what a great idea, right?! My Kate loves to sit and read, but if the book is too long, she gets impatient. Anyway, Kate's grandma bought her Suess's Oh The Places You Will Go (my most fav of all kids books) and The Lorax, so she will have great things to listen to at playtime, or bedtime for that matter.

Isn't books on CD a great idea for kids?

Of course it's great. Who needs to learn how to read when we have modern technology?

Exactly! Cuz you know that PBS kids is only in the morning time, and at night, Noggin is only cartoons adults can't stand!

Hi Katesmama! Yes, that is indeed a very great idea for kids especially for the kids who can't read yet. The kids will surely love hearing those stories and will also teach them how to listen very well. Learning how to listen well is one of the keys in acquiring good education.
Take Care and God Bless! Happy Mylotting! happy

Well, it might be a great idea since audio books can
be fun and get her in the mood for reading.

I cannot take to audio books for myself but Niamh adores them or at least she used to - she prefers to read her books herself now! When she was a bit younger she wound down in bed every night listening to another instalment of the Famous Five! I am sure kate will love it too! xxx


myLot reputation of 91/100. Katesmama (3210)   ranked 1 out of 40 in sweet delights  4 years ago

Famous Five? Another one I'm going to have to Wikipedia happy! I did find out about the Little Miss stuff, and I had seen them before, I just didn't really know it was as big as it is. GAP Kids has Little Miss t-shirts now, but they had no sizes for my Kate.


myLot reputation of 96/100. mummymo (11642)   ranked 3 out of 40 in sweet delights  4 years ago

Enid Blyton wrote the famous five , all old fashioned adventures and good fun! lol Hmm I wonder if I can do something about the Little Miss t-hirt problem, leave it with me ! xxx

Hello my friend Katesmama Ji,
It is really a great idea, I support your concept, at the same time, I wish small children should not be exposed to electronic gadgets. It is harmful. They should not get addicted to them. have a nice time.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Katesmama (3210)   ranked 1 out of 40 in sweet delights  4 years ago

I agree that kids should stick to the good old fashioned basics. My little one reads everyday, and we read to her everyday. The books I chose for her are longer than her two year old attention span would allow her to sit for. Here is a link about one of the books, I think you'll see that it goes above and beyond a children's book.

Hello my friend Katesmama Ji,
I just brought my experiences as a old person, and understand that 'parenting' is a great challange now-a-days, with both spouses working and parents hardly get any time to devote with them. I remember, when I was in US for short period, one day I found my CD player missing. On enquiry from my DIL, I wa stold that it had been taken away by one of her friend, who requires every time a particular record to be played for his son's every feed, while they went to visit Desney's world. Here too, children get addicted very soon, which is very much harmful. Everything , if maintained with in its limits will give you fruitful results. have a nice time.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Katesmama (3210)   ranked 1 out of 40 in sweet delights  4 years ago

Yes, everything within limits happy


myLot reputation of 90/100. chintoo07 (3199)  4 years ago

Hello my friend Katesmama Ji,
That is really fine, it means you have eaten nut of this issue. have a nice time.

When my grandkids were small I would read them books on the cassette tapes and send them the books to follow along. It was a way to keep in touch with them and entertain them from long distance. Ewe both enjoyed it.

I don't know if my Olivia will take to this idea, but i am going to try it. I personally don't really care for them. I am a bookie, and love the feeling of the book in my hands. So i doubt if i would use them for myself.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Katesmama (3210)   ranked 1 out of 40 in sweet delights  4 years ago

You know, I love to read, but I get motion sickness if I don't watch the road. The books on CD for the trip were borrowed, and one of them I'd read before, so it turned out good.

Now, the kids books we got...I think I'm going to maybe play it at bedtime. Kate is just two, and she goes to bed to classical music from a kid's radio her uncle bought her. The book is a really positive one, check out the link I posted above. (Oh, the Place's You'll Go, is the title)

Nevermind, here's the link...

I love audio books in the car, I listen to them driving around town. I did find that I didn't feel like listening to Hound of the Baskervilles this morning - don't ask me why - maybe the heat.
