Rockford's Rock Opera, by Matthew Sweetapple & Steve Punt

I heard about this children's story from friends who had found it on the web and said it was not only entertaining but educational as well. They recommended it highly after listening to it with their kids who had loved it, and said the story was quite different and really unique as it is not only a story but a musical as well with great songs and animated videos. Rockford's Rock Opera is a free audiobook of which Part One can be downloaded from the internet, it is a wonderful and inspirational story about animals, extinction and the effect man is having on the planet but it is a positive and hopeful story with lovely music and songs which will help children to understand why animals have become extinct and how everyone has a part to play in helping to save the planet, but it's not heavy or cynical, it is a lovely story told in a very engaging way, and to be truthful we have enjoyed listening to it as much as the children have! I think the nice thing about this is that it has been something we can listen to and share as a family. I would really recommend Rockford's Rock Opera to parents who like audiobooks and who also want stories that whilst entertaining have a greater educational value.
