Roddy Doyle's The Giggler Treatment is AWESOME... really really funny and has captivated my 4 and 7 year olds (mainly cos it's all about POO!) Plus the narrator has a really sexy irish accent... win win

We bought some fantastic paddington bear ones for my 3 year old - read by Stephen Fry. I think they originally came free with The Times - but were on ebay for 99p. Also, he enjoys Peter Pan read by Dawn French. HTH.

my ds has loved these

they have been a huge hit

ja9 · 13/06/2008 22:22

often in places like the works, or book people, you get a set of 6 books with a story cd - ds has a Charlie and Lola set and Harry and his bucketful of dinosuars. he loves to 'read' along with the cd. you can usually get them for about a tenner.

Meant to say also - check out your local library. Ours has heaps of kids audio books to borrow free of charge.

tassisssss · 14/06/2008 13:47

our local libraries do a good range of cassettes - fireman sam, postman pat, hairy maclary etc etc

Have a look at The Villes - www.thevilles.com - by Martin Roberts. The first edition - Tiredsville - is downloadable free and there is a whole series thereafter. It's really delightful.
