Childrens Audio Books

Vic March 30th, 2007

Remember when you were young and your mother or father would tell you a bedtime story or read to you from a childrens book? If so I'm sure it brings back fond memories. While nothing can take the place of a mother or father telling their children a bedtime story or reading to them in person, childrens audio books can add more possibilities to these activities. Childrens audio books also open up a whole new learning experience for your children as they read along with the audio book while you are free to take care of other responibilities that need your attention. Plus they're a great alternative to seating in front of the TV all day long when the weathers to bad to play outdoors. Another great way to use childrens audio books is to load them up in your MP3 player and let your child listen while you're traveling, a good childrens audio book will keep them occupied for hours. Now that you see just a few possible uses for childrens audio books the question you may have is, where can I find and download childrens audio books? And the answer is Digital Age Publishing. The "Kids and Young People" category at our audio book store has well over 400 titles in 15 sub-categories including Action & Adventure, Animals, Classics, Fairy Tales, General, Horror & Ghost Stories, Humor, Love & Romance, Miscellaneous, Myths & Legends, Over 10s, Religious, Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Magic, Short Stories and Under 10s.

snearths2469.jpg

Published for the first time, both series of James Follett’s classic 1980s radio science fiction series are presented in this set.

Originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4 to wide acclaim, Earthsearch is set in the far future and concerns Earth’s sole survivors, now living on the massive Challenger starship but longing to return to the home they have never known. Their problems arise when it transpires that the planet Earth has disappeared…MORE

This title has three reveiws

Five Star A brilliant SF series
Quite simply, Eathsearch is the greatest audio SF series ever made and overall one of the greatest SF series in total. Both the scripts and acting are of an unbelievably high standard, the pace and excitement (pure menace in some areas) is spine chilling. I would recommend this to all SF and non SF listeners.

I was a bit reluctent at first to buy Earthsearch as usually I don’t listen to older recordings of radio shows because of the sound quality. However Earthsearch had me open-mouthed as it was such an enthrawling story from the first episode to the last! I just couldn’t get it on to cd fast enough and even sat up late listening to it. Each episode has surprises in store and will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. It is full of mystery intreeg and deception at every turn. Expect the unexpected. The casting was stunning and the performance spectacular from start to finish. There’s a lot of scares in it, won’t give too much away but the end of each episode always had me jumping out of my skin because of the music. It’s a must have trust me, it’s a classic adventure, you won’t regrette buying it. All you fans of Science fiction get it now!! It more than deserves it’s 5 star rating
March 2007 Lori Duncan from Dundee
Five Star Earthsearch
I resisted buying this as $30.00 for a download is kind of high, but I am very glad that I did! The sound quility is perfect and it is a great listen! If you like Sci-Fi Radio I would highly recomend this!

Audio Book Review of Batman: Knightfall

Vic March 18th, 2007

“… Dirk Maggs, who wrote and produced, threw everything into the pot and stirred vigorously. The result was richly textured, highly flavoursome, original and wonderfully energetic …”   Daily Telegraph

Gotham City is reeling from the shocking news that Batman is confined to a wheelchair. Who will now protect the innocent from the dangerous inmates of Arkham Asylum, whom Bane has released? A new hero - Asrael - takes up the mantle of the Bat. But Azrael is a more brutal Batman than Bruce Wayne, and far more eager to punish the guilty than to protect the innocent. Will he destroy Gotham City in order to save it?

This fantastic full-cast adventure stars Bob Sessions, Michael Gough, Peter Marinker and Kerry Shale, and it comes from the renowned producer Dirk Maggs, of Superman and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy radio fame.

This stunning audio production was first aired on BBC Radio 1, and it’s cliffhanging, all-action adventure can now be heard uninterrupted and remastered - complete with dazzling sound effects and specially composed orchestral music. This edition also includes a bonus out-takes reel, never heard before.

Tom had this to say about Batman: Knightfall

5 stars Dirk Maggs is a genius!
Why there aren’t more superhero-based pieces on audio is beyond me. Thank God for Dirk Maggs! “Batman: Knightfall” never lets up, and is a perfect adaptation of the sprawling Batman saga of years ago. All we need now is for the BBC to re-release all of Maggs’ sci-fi and comic book masterpieces.

Audio Book Review of Every Mother is a Daughter

Vic March 3rd, 2007

Biography & Memoir

EVERY MOTHER IS A DAUGHTER
Perri Klass, Sheila Solomon Klass
Read by Anna Fields, Carrington MacDuffie

Anna Fields and Carrington MacDuffie capture the rapport, love, frustrations, and gentle teasing between mother and daughter as they read this memoir by Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass. The two women share their very different perspectives on each other, housework, child-rearing, and money, even as they travel the world and reflect on life with Sheila’s late husband, who was an anthropologist. Both Klass women are accomplished writers who bring an engaging and conversational style to this humorous and heartwarming memoir. Fields and MacDuffie are the perfect combination to highlight this style. The outstanding performance by the two women brings this well-written account of a unique family vividly to life. H.L.S.
