Audio books for my almost 6 year old son

[Barbiehair]

Sadly, my son has outgrown our stash of Disney and fairytale audio books we have but I'm finding it impossible to find a replacement. He hates the Horrid Henry stories and the only thing he can think of that he might like is Superman/Spiderman. Not exactly relaxing night time reading. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Any idea what Stories 4 Cool Kids is like? Thanks

Ahhh, now my 6.5 year old loves listening to the Horrid Henry audio books! He has also recently got James and the Giant Peach and George's Marvellous Medicine, which he enjoys, quite funny stories and songs, if you like Dahl and can overlook his misogynist style.

second Roald Dahl - some of them have got great readers. We have Hugh Laurie doing the Giraffe, the Pelly and Me and Ds1 loves it.

My dd likes some of the Dick-King-Smith audio books. Can't remember the titles offhand, but they're available on amazon I'm sure.

Have a look here.

Thanks for the tips. We have a few Roald Dahl stories already with intermitant success. Will look into his other stories and DKS.

martin jarvis reading the just william stories are the business!

My DS, 7 has always listened to story tapes at bedtime - and I couldn't afford to keep buying new ones - so we go to the local library - they have loads and if he picks something he doesn't like - he just switches it off and gets another one out - no wasted money. He really likes the Animal Ark stories, but you will find lots of different ones to try in the library.

my ds's (5 & 7) love the Alex Rider stories on cd - they have Stormbreaker and point blanc at the moment but ds1 is getting the next one from his godmother for christmas (which is lucky because if I hear them in the car again I might scream!)

we have the roald dahl set from the telegraph and my ds (7) is listening to it now. He has also really enjoyed the faraway tree, narnia, harry potter, meg and mog, charlottes web, unusual fairy stories.
