Audio books for 4 year old? Any recommendations...

[EustaciaVye]

Please....DD loves books and has The Jungle Book audio cd for the car which she raves about. Any other good ones about?

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.

Giggler Treatment

OOh some quick responses! Thank you. I'm off to bed now but I'll review in the morning.

I want lots to choose from so please keep the ideas coming

Also have you had a look at Audible Kids?

(tis an american site but may give you some ideas)

my ds has loved these

they have been a huge hit

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.

like this

Mr Men
Winnie the Pooh
James & the Giant Peach (Roald Dahl in general, especially the ones read by him)
Percy the Park Keeper

DD1 also 4yrs also likes cd/audio books

I have some from the book people - large family, Angelina Ballerina etc.

I have also got from borders book shop Monster Inc, snow white and toy story which are books but have an abridge version of the story on cd taken from the films.

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

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

Some great ideas here, thanks everyone.

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.
