DC1 loves reading books with us, she also loves watching nursery rhymes on YouTube (now there's a rabbit hole I wish I had never fallen down
)
I dont really like relying on YouTube for the nursery rhymes and for some reason she refuses to do them just me and her. She started clearly learning language very quickly from the YouTube stuff but it's very American and some of the references are a bit off. She's quite an independent child and I think would like to lie/sit and listen to stories on her own as well as the books we read her.
My mum has said that at the same age she used to put a tape of songs/nursery rhymes or stories on to listen to as we fell asleep. I do actually remember this at a later age and have very fond memories of nursery rhyme tapes and as we got older things like Rold Dahl, Michael Morpergo, Little Woman, Animals of Farthing wood, Noel Streatfield etc
Thing is we don't have a CD player, I have a spare tablet that came free with a phone deal. I've no idea where to start looking for English based preschool aged audio books and nursery rhymes that can be played on a tablet without adverts etc. I don't mind paying!
Any suggestions?
