We’ve been doing a lot of books on CD lately, as it’s sometimes hard for me to read to the kids when I’m really nauseated. One winner that the kids and I all love is E B White reading Charlotte’s Web. I’ve talked about how great children’s literature can be enjoyed by kids and adults, and I for one have come to love Wilbur and Charlotte even more than I did as a child! Hearing White himself read the story brings the characters and the little details to life in a fresh, new way. We highly recommend it!
What audio books do you love?
I just discovered the value of the ESV Bible audio book. I have a hard time concentrating on the bible when I am reading it, but when my nervous energy is coming out (sweeping etc) as I listen, I find I can listen better. I found the eSV new testament for free on Amazon, and while it might bother some people, I appreciate the different voices and music in the narration. I don’t think I should only listen this way, but I am doing such a bad job lately of reading that this is better than failing.
That’s a really good idea!
