Children's Audio Books to Download

Download a Children's Audio Book today. It's surprising just how beneficial audio books can be when it comes to a child's development and education. For one, audio books make stories a source of pleasure and encourage children to learn how to read. We have teamed up with the talking-book-store to offer hundreds of children's audio titles. The talking book store also has thousands of adult titles from biographies to language-learning audio books.

Not only that,
audio books offer an excellent way of transforming traveling time into listening time (with considerable benefits for the driver).

Narnia has been at peace since Peter, Lucy, Susan and Edmund helped rid the kingdom of the evil White Witch. But now the children have returned to their own world, and in their absence a dark presence rules the once harmonious land.

Wicked King Miraz has imposed a pernicious new order of persecution and imprisonment, but the King's nephew and rightful heir, young Prince Caspian, realizing the evil of his uncle's regime, vows to revive Narnia's glorious past. Fearing for his life, he is forced to flee and calls on the four children, the magic of the mighty lion Aslan, and an army of fauns, dwarfs and woodland spirits to help him in his seemingly impossible task.

The seven titles in The Chronicles of Narnia, in order, are as follows: The Magician's Nephew; The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe; The Horse and His Boy; Prince Caspian; The Voyage of the Dawn Treader; The Silver Chair and The Last Battle.
