Talking Books - any recommended narrators/authors - DD7

[Madcats]

Sorry, this seems the best place to post.

We had a couple of LONG car journeys this summer and children's talking books made for delightful journeys.

David Tennant reading the How to Train your Dragon series (Cressida Cowell) was hilarious, Stephen Fry narrating Harry Potter is also popular.

DD likes the books in their own right, but I can't help thinking that it is the narrator that makes an audio book.

Can anybody think of any other gems?

Our library has a few, but we seem to be borrowing other libraries' stock (so can't really browse).

DD isn't too bothered about the subject matter

Thanks

David Walliams narrates his own books which popular with DS (7) so could give that a try? Also the Mr Gum series is quite good.

Stephen Fry reads Paddington
Rik Mayall reads Dr Seuss

We've just listened to The Tourist Trap which amused DS.

Also recommend look at BBC full cast dramatisations of children's classics. Amazon has plenty eg Alice in Wonderland, Heidi.

Thanks for the suggestions everybody; we'll give them a try

Second David Walliams and Mr Gum. The Book People do a set of Roald Dahl with various excellent narrators. Also love Martin Jarvis reading Just William.

Rik Mayall's Dr Seuss is excellent

Johnny Morris reading the Just So Stories is fab. It's a great example of a fantastic reader bringing something to life.

Septimus Heap?

Big George by Eric Pringle read by Sylvester McCoy
Aunt Severe and the dragons by Nick Garlic
Frogspell by C J Busby

Thanks again.

I guess the schools would need some sort of broadcasting licence, but wouldn't it be fun to play these books on rainy days/reading sessions
