Adequate

It was just good. the story itself could have been better. I started this series because when I was a kid I read the Jedi Apprentice series and just found this extension of it. so far none of the books (1-3) really excite me. Maybe I'm just older. This performer though is amazing and the sound effects and music are great.

A Dangerous game of the heart

Great book for kids, I recommend this audible book for all star wars fans

I met a reading teacher who recommended this book to me for my son as a good beginners chapter book for kids. My son loves these books. Still in the process of collecting them all.

Franny K. Rocks!

I'm a 2nd grade teacher who firmly believes that as long as a child is reading a book, then that book is a good book! I don't care if it's Captain Underpants, The Day My Butt Went Psycho, or Charlotte's Web. The only way children are going to become good readers is by practicing reading. The best way to make a child a happy reader is to give that child a book he or she is happy to read.

My son is going into second grade and is a relucant reader. He knows how to read, is good at it, but just doesn't want to do it. Jim Benton's Franny K. series is helping to change that. We just finished reading this entry, and my son was more than eager to help out with the reading so we could find out what happened next. The words might be a little difficult for most beginning readers, but the pictures are great, the chapters are short, and lots of funny things happen.

I'll be using the Franny K. series in my classroom this year, and firmly believe it'll help lots of reluctant readers become better readers.

that is less than wonderful.

item arrived timely and as described. The quality of this paperback is similar to that of the others in the series, that is less than wonderful.

It's a 5 star book

I liked this book because it is in a way that the kids could understand the inventions that Franny made. I would recommend this book to kids that are interested into science and that like funny books. I gave it that many stars because it's easy for kids to follow a long and understand.

Daughter liked this book

Cute story! Illustrations were also nice.

Title: The Wright Brothers

Subtitle: First in Flight: Sterling Biographies

Author: Tara Dixon-Engel, Mike Jackson

Narrator: Knighton Bliss

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 1 min

Language: English

Release date: 12-30-09

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

At least as far back as the ancient myth of Icarus, humans longed to fly - but it wasn't until December 17, 1903, on the windy dunes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, that the dream finally came true. And it was all thanks to Orville and Wilbur Wright, two former bicycle mechanics who built their first toy plane - a rubber-band powered rotary - when they were just children.

Find out how the two brothers, working quietly and persistently, ultimately solved the "flying problem" that had grounded so many others; what setbacks they experienced as they developed and improved their machine (including a tragic crash); and what additional "firsts" followed after they triumphantly took to the skies.

A Perfect example of FAITH & PERSISTENCE

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Because of these two men, over two million people have jobs today in the aviation industry. Because of these two men, America was able to land a man on the moon and bring him back safely. Because of these two men, people can see the world in days compared to months by boat.

This is a PERFECT example of having blind faith, persistence, determination, creating the situations that you want and focusing on your goals while making great scarifies.

NO EXCUSESSSSS

Every future entrepreneur should read this book.

Title: Thunder Rolling in the Mountains

Author: Scott O'Dell, Elizabeth Hall

Narrator: Amanda Ronconi

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 45 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-10-09

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 22 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Sound of Running Feet, daughter of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce, narrates this tale of her tribe's fate, starting from her first encounter with white people in 1877.

©1992 Scott O'Dell; (P)2009 Audible, Inc.

Critic Reviews:

"Seen through the eyes of Chief Joseph's daughter, Sound of Running Feet, O'Dell's last novel (coauthored and completed after his death by his wife) recounts the circuitous, tragic journey of the Ne-mee-poo (Nez Perce) from their Oregon home to the Lapwai Reservation in Idaho. Wisely recognizing that there's no way to fight the encroaching whites, Chief Joseph counters calls to war from dissenting tribal leaders and agrees to lead his people on what becomes an epic ordeal. Attacked by settlers en route, they win some battles against the ``Blue Coats,''but the decimated tribe makes it into Crow territory only to find that their former allies are in league with the Army. Heading for refuge with Sitting Bull in Canada, they're caught in a surprise attack that leaves no choice but surrender. Bringing this bleak historical episode to life in spare, supple prose that echoes Joseph's own dignified words, the authors offer a fascinating look at the heroism of ordinary people." (Kirkus Reviews)

Good historical book

We used the immersion reading and read it as a family.. as I watched my family's faces I saw joy terror tears and relief show on all their faces my kids are 13 and 9 and my husband and I enjoyed it also.... we like to use the audio or immersion reading when we are on trips or in the vehicle for any amount of time...

Five Stars

Great

Terrific realistic voice

A gripping read, but very dark. Even gruesome at times. I read it with my 5th grader and was surprised at the level of graphic violence.

True to the times though, and very enlightening at the same time.

Five Stars

My daughter's favorite book. she loved getting this.

Great read

This author takes historical people and events and creates a story to go along with it. My son, who is 12, loves this author so much we have purchased every book written by him. They have kept his attention, and he has reread several. My son's time and energy going into a book instead of an electronic device, can't ask for much more!

Charming fun

This classic children's book really delivers - a lovely gentle and engaging storyline. Narration is very well done.

Fantastic family listening

This set of stories is particularly charming and funny and had all of us in stitches many times over (ages range from 7-39!) "Mr Briggs and his chilled marrow" will stay with us forever. Brilliantly read by Stephen Fry.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Obviously Paddington and his relationships with a host of very distinct individuals.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Definitely Paddington eaves-dropping on the builders.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Mind your marrows!

Any additional comments?

Absolutely superb for young and old...

Paddington brown

Simply brilliant. A true British classic. The characters bring warmth to your heart and reflection on life.

Paddington

This take your mind back to the Klondike

I enjoyed every minute of this story. Great book to listen to. enjoy the trip

Could have been much better

This book has OK information, but doesn't tell it in a very storylike manner. For example, it never really gets in to the miners lives or about the actual mining! The pre-stampede narrative is good though.

The narrators emphasis is all wrong and sounds somewhat condescending and is dramatic at all the wrong times.

Surely there are better choices.

Great and profound story, enjoyable and thrilling

If you could sum up Sterling Point Books in three words, what would they be?

powerful, funny, engaging

What was one of the most memorable moments of Sterling Point Books?

the stories that described the discovery of the gold, and the ones describing the end of the dream for so many.

What does Andy Caploe bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

His voice has a great gravity to it, as well as humor

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

can't say.

Any additional comments?

I found out about Berton thru his illustrated book on the Klondike, full of amazing pictures. an incredible collection. His narrative is just as evocative.

The Stampede for Gold is Brought to Life

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

It is a lively text by the authority on the Klondike combined with a wonderful narrative voice that makes the text even more exciting.

What about Andy Caploes performance did you like?

He did brilliantly -- better than a movie.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I listen during my evening one-hour walks.

Any additional comments?

A superb experience.

Good Book

What did you love best about Firewing?

I love it because, shade is such a hard worker for his family, the only thing that I didn't like was that when the book finished it didn't feel like it was done mentally or in general.

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 31 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Thanks to his monumental accomplishments, Albert Einstein's name is synonymous with genius. With his famous E=MC and insights into quantum physics, this legendary scientist not only revolutionized the way we understand the universe, but paved the way for such diverse technology as lasers, cell phones, electron microscopes, DVD players, atomic weaponry, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Featuring kid-friendly explanations of the scientific principles, this compelling biography follows Einstein from his childhood through his early career struggles, and on to the theoretical breakthroughs and groundbreaking writings that won him the Nobel Prize. Equally important, we get a complete portrait of the man, who - deeply affected by the Holocaust - dedicated his life to pacifism and equal rights for all.

A short, nice biography

Where does Sterling Biographies rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Was surprised to learn that Einstein was a flirtatious guy, with good humour and a very moral, loving view on life and living creatures. He wasn't exactly an angel either though, when it comes to his personal relationships. But hey - nobody's perfect:)

This book gives a balanced, engaging look.

What about A. C. Fellners performance did you like?

Narration is top notch.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Oh yes.

Fair Biography

I bought this audio book out of curiosity, to know more about Albert Einstein, his life and his work.

I think it did it in a reasonable way, covering his personal and scientific career, though this last aspect, turned out to be boring for me to listen to... Never the less necessary, to fit in to the book over all context.

Over all I rate it a 3 Star
