Audio downloads for a 5 year old

4 replies

Hi there,

My 5 year old has taken a liking to listening to stories on her leap pad at bedtime (we read lots of actual books first). She has had the same set of stories for a year and has now asked for new ones from santa.

Does anyone have any good recommendations of stories which can be downloaded then put straight onto her pad? I don’t have a cd drive on my computer so audio cds are not much use. I could make something work if desperate though

Sparkle stories. A bit Waldorf but the kid loves them and they're very wholesome. Grin

There are a few audio podcasts that mine listen too, about science, but they are pretty upbeat for bedtime.

we can download audio books from the library - though you only get to keep them for 3 weeks, so not really suitable for a christmas present maybe.

Agree that the how to train your dragon books are nothing like the movies and david tennent is a wonderful reader. We've also enjoyed the Roald Dahl collection with various readers. Everything else we;ve listened too is maybe a bit old, espcecially for on her own. Sorry not to be of more help. do check the library though.

My DD loved the How to Train Your Dragon books. She liked the movie first though; stories are quite a bit different. David Tennant is a wonderful reader who can do many different voices which I think helped my DD follow the story.
