Hi there,
I'm a bit stuck for ideas. I'm looking for story tapes/audio books for my boys aged 6 and 8. They should not be too long (i.e. not stretch over several CDs/cassettes) and not the Horrid Henry type stuff, I'd prefer a slightly higher quality .
I'm struggling to find something that's not too babyish (not stuff like Thomas the Tank Engine) but on the other hand not too complicated and advanced, as English is not their first language (they attend an English school though).
I think they'd also enjoy a fairy tale once in a while, but some are made up in a very girly pink way (why is this btw.) which they don't like, even if the actual tale is suitable for both genders (I'd have thought they all are). But which editions are good, read well/not too girly?
And what else would they possibly like?
Any suggestions and where to get tapes/CDs very welcome (apart from library, but even when I go there I can never decide which ones are suitable).
Many thanks.
