Do you think we'll ever really belong anywhere?

'I suppose not,' said Papa. 'Not the way people belong who have lived in one place all their lives. But we'll belong a little in lots of places, and I think that may be just as good.'

Actor Helen Barford talks with Jessica about Judith Kerr's classic children's novel When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, which she narrated for Listening Books' Sound Learning production. Helen also shares some good advice for anyone interested in taking up audiobook narration.

Books Helen and her children recommend for the Audiobook Listening Challenge

Beast Quest (series), Adam Blade

Harry Potter (series), JK Rowling

The Secret Seven (series) and The Famous Five (series), Enid Blyton

Julia Donaldson's books, especially Tyrannosaurus Drip and What the Ladybird Heard

Roald Dahl's books, especially Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG

The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett

The Railway Children, Edith Nesbit
