Members Reviews:

I'm the worst ever critic for Jungle Book reading

I've cherished this story since childhood, when I fell in love (Or hate as the case may be) with the Jungle People. I clung to it in young adulthood as I began to realize it's deeper meaning, and now I'm damn near 60,and the power and magic of the telling of these stories of love and Law, revenge and wisdom have not weakened in the least. I know every word by heart. I have to have it in audio form now instead of reading it myself, but every now and then, I still have to have it!

So when I say Mr Batchelor has nailed the spirit of these tales you may believe me. His voices and inflections are spot on, and those who love Jungle Book as I do can safely trust your ears to him!

Very relevant books with great lessons

Peter Batchelor is a great narrator, who is very engaging. Extreamly relevant stories with something to be learnt by everyone.

Members Reviews:

Great little series

Great little series! My second son, age 7, loved these because he felt like his older brother had bonded with the A-Z characters and these books were written as the younger siblings playing the main role. Enjoyable books to add to the summer reading list.

We absolutely love this series

We absolutely love this series. I actually purchased both books and audiobooks of this series. My kids listen to them all the time while in car. They always learn something new, either new vocabulary or act of kindness.

Three Stars

This children's book fell a little flat when compared to the others by the same author.

Entertaining early reader

Great calendar mystery as always. My kids love these books. This series entertains my 4 and 6 year olds, and gives my new reader an opportunity to practice his skills with a chapter book.

Bedtime favorite

My husband and I read these stories to my daughter at bedtime. The kids solve mysteries and use critical thinking skills to solve problems.

A good book

Funny exiting and whats more you'll completely wish it's true

I didn't dislike anything

Very imaginative

Amazing final!

First of all, David Tennant is my favourite audiobook reader and he has done this series in the most fabulous way. And the books are written so funny and expressive that it just makes a wonderful combination. I have been listening to the individual books of this series multiple times and now with this final books it's my absolute favourite series to introduce to new audiobooks listeners. Many thanks for the wonderful work!

Astonishing

If you half got all the books but not this one it will blow you're mind absolutely brilliant brilliant I tell you brilliant by lewis age 10

Superbly read by David Tennant

This is a wonderful end to the series of books by Cressida Cowell and wonderfully read by David Tennant. How can he make so many voices? He really brings the book to life!

Fantastic. David Tennant is a star!

I have two boys, aged nine and thirteen, both of whom love listening to these books. In fact, we all love listening to them. David Tennant's narration is second to none - I could listen to his voice all day and the amount of work he must put into creating and then remembering the different voices and accents is astonishing.

As far as the story goes, Hiccup is getting towards the end of his quest and there is more excitement and deadly peril of the sort we've seen before. All his friends (and enemies!) put in an appearance and you won't be disappointed.

Perfect for long journeys.

Title: The One About the Stolen Dog

Subtitle: The Creatures of Chichester, Book 1

Author: Christopher Joyce

Narrator: Julie Norman

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-16

Publisher: Butterfly Consulting Ltd

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

It's the summer of 2012 and most of the Twolegs in Chichester, England, are having a good time but not Mr. Penfold, because someone has stolen his dog.

A little red-headed Twoleg was last seen leading the dog away - but that was days ago. Button and Stitchley, two intrepid spiders living in North Street, decide to get to the bottom of the crime.

They enlist the help of other creatures in the city to find out just who the vile dognapper is. But it's not easy; the cats hate the dogs; the mice are not too fond of the falcons, and don't even mention the bats!

Are you looking for a children's chapter book that is highly entertaining, great for bedtime stories, and part of a series? This children's storybook has it all! These stories are great for bedtime stories and great to listen to with friends and family.

Members Reviews:

Great performance!

Have you listened to any of Julie Normans other performances before? How does this one compare?

I love Julie Norman's voice. She does such a great job of bringing the characters to life. The voices are fun. I've looked for other books read by her, but none are coming up.

Publisher's Summary:

Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter is a children's book focusing on the life of a little orphan girl. The orphan Pollyanna is forced to live with her strict Aunt Polly, who resents having to look after Pollyanna, because both of her parents passed away.

The young girl's room is a stuffy attic with no decorations or comforts, and Aunt Polly maintains strict rules and shows Pollyanna very little affection. Pollyanna tries to stay happy by playing what she calls the "Glad Game". Slowly, Pollyanna's sunny disposition and Glad Game start to affect the town of Beldingsville.

In every situation, Pollyanna insists that there is always something to be glad about. Eventually, even her Aunt Polly starts to appreciate Pollyanna's positive outlook. However, disaster strikes when Pollyanna is hit by a car and becomes paralyzed, unable to walk.

When she learns that she has lost the use of both legs, Pollyanna becomes very sad and distant. She stays in her bed and decides that there is nothing to be happy about. The townspeople of Beldingsville start to call on Pollyanna and remind her how much she has helped each person in the town live a happier life. With this support, Pollyanna realizes that at least she has the memories of being able to walk. Her aunt sends Pollyanna to a special hospital and Pollyanna undergoes physical therapy to regain the use of her legs giving Pollyanna a strong appreciation for her health and eventually her positive attitude returns.

Members Reviews:

Loads of classics, excellent value.

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

I'd recommend this to families - it has so many classics. I downloaded it onto my phone before we went camping, and they loved listening while we sat around the fire toasting marshmallows.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ladybird Classics: The Complete Audio Collection?

The gothic novels were very enthusiastically enjoyed.

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

No, it's very long.

Any additional comments?

The music in between each book is VERY LOUD!

Individual Stories Not Indexed!! So Frustrating!

Why does it only say 'Chapter 1' etc rather than having the name of the Story?

I had to trawl through 10 chapters to find Peter Pan for my son.

Very few children are going to listen to more than one story at a time, so please make it clear which story corresponds to which chapter!

Music is dreadful

We wanted to listen for these stories at bedtimes. It was, however made nearly impossible by dreadful loud music between each story. Just as my son was dosing off at the end of the story, it would wake him up.

Not a classic!

Totally waste of time - chapters are long, not for children under 6.

My daughters 3 and 5 were listening to this but I was very disappointed to hear the stories in the edition.

Would not recommend at all.

I would rate 0 if I could have!

Lu's Reviews

Some lovely stories, really nice to listen to as your going to bed which is when I do most of my listening to audio books

Members Reviews:

My students enjoyed the book

This book contains a lot of information about the life of St. Patrick and St. Patrick's Day. I purchased it for use in my 2nd grade classroom in a public school. It wasn't as appropriate for this situation as I had hoped. Several pages of the book go into the religious aspect of St. Patrick's life. I found I had to skip over some sentences in order to be politely correct in my classroom. My students enjoyed the book, and we were able to create an anchor chart with the main details of the text. Gail Gibbons is a wonderful author and illustrator...so this is main reason I had purchased this book for use in my classroom without previously seeing the details.

Perfect information text for St. Patty's Day

Cute book. Gibbons always delivers when it comes to informational text that is usable with young readers/learners. Every student who heard this book liked it, and it's a great way to introduce this author to the kids. I twinned this with the DePaolo book that was historical fiction and found the kids loved both and got different information from each.

Covers it all for kids with a catchy story line and pictures.

Oh this is just the cutest book to help you child learn more about St Patricks Day! The art is well done and I like that it covers the history and new traditions and the biblical meaning behind the clover. This has become a favorite book even weeks after the holiday! My son is 5 and loved it and had many questions it was super cute and really helped him learn visually about the holiday.

has great illustrations, and is interesting for both me and ...

This book is very well written, has great illustrations, and is interesting for both me and my child. I can't say that about many children's books. It's very informative and is a book look forward to my child picking out!

Great Book for Young Readers

Great book for my 7 year old grandson to learn about St. Patrick's Day!
