How old are my DC? 4 and 2 years old

When and where did they listen? On sofa after school

What did they think of audiobook? 2 year old no interest at all, more interested in tapping screen! 4 year old listened but was easily distracted, he has never seen Rastamouse before so maybe would be of more interest if he knew the characters.

Would we be interested in more audiobooks in the future? Yes but with characters they knew/easier to follow storylines

How old is your DC? I've got a 4 year old DS, a 2 year old DD & a 14 month old DS. They all listened to the audiobook.

When & where did your DC listen to the audiobook? We snuggled up on the sofa the first time. We then listened to it in the car on a long journey.

What did you/your DC think of the audiobook overall? It was quite nice to dip in & out of. My 4 year old knows the TV programme so probably enjoyed it the most. My DD wasn't overly bothered (but that might just be her!) & my youngest loved the music.

Would you/your DC be interested in listening to more audiobooks in the future? Definitely for car journeys. We tried Charlie & the Chocolate Factory on a mammoth car trip but I think there were too young. Personally I think I prefer reading actual books with them. I'm glad I took part in the trial though, it was nice to listen/do something a bit different.

Should this thread say closed? Attempted to download the free download but it says it has now expired. We love still love Rastamouse here!

Thanks for all your feedback! The winner of the prize draw is purplepandas :)
