Puffin say "We are absolutely delighted to have so many eager ears listening to our marvellous audiobooks this summer and taking part in our Audiobook Club
We believe that audiobooks are a brilliant way for families to share the laughter, thrill and excitement of a good story. Whether you listened just before bedtime or on those long and winding 'are-we-nearly-there-yet' car journeys.
All we ask is that you use the discussion threads to let us know what both you and your little ones, thought of the experience."

Non testers: Share on this thread what your favourite audiobook is and why and you will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £75 voucher for either iTunes or Amazon so you can buy audiobooks!

Testers: Puffin would love to know what you and your children thought by answering these questions:

  1. How old is the child who took part?
  2. Which audiobook did your DC choose?
  3. What time of day and where did your child listen to the audiobook?
  4. On what device did your DC listen to the audiobook?
  5. What was your child’s overall impression of the experience? What did they like about it?
  6. Do you think you’d buy or look for more audiobooks in the future as a result of this experience?

We'd also like you to add a review of the audiobook on MN (using the links sent to you on email)

All testers who add feedback and post a review will be entered into a prize draw where two MNers will each win a £75 voucher from either iTunes or Amazon so you can buy audiobooks!

Thanks and good luck!

Feedback from handmadewithlove

Children were 3,6,8 and 11
We chose Alice in Wonderland and listened to it on the long drive to our holiday!
The youngest fell asleep but the others listened. Sheridan Smith was a good choice.
Would definitely buy more.

Review for Puffin:

Sheridan Smith was a great choice as reader for this story. It is lovely to have a longer version - often audiobooks are abridged for children but we like the whole thing! Looking forward to listening to some more.

On a technical note, it would be useful to have one track per chapter as it is easer to listen to the story in instalments that way. Also the volume was not consistent across the whole thing so I had to keep adjusting it.

Thank you for the chance to review.
