About this listen
This magical flight of fancy is for children aged six to 12 years old and for the young at heart! It is a delightful and absorbing tale which will leave you wanting more.
The story begins as follows:
A dull, wet school holiday which has been so disappointing, is now drawing to a close for Alex. All this changes when an unexpected visit to the Great Museum of History with his eccentric aunt sets off a fantastic chain of events. Alex finds himself transported to a magical island far away, in the midst of talking creatures, a kindly wizard, and a magnificent golden eagle.
Pitted against the dastardly schemes of the Grizzly Grumpot, find out what happens to Alex and his new friends when you step into this colourful world of adventure, mystery, and spells that don't always work!

Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

Is your child wild about dinosaurs? No one quite understands why so many kids go through a “dinosaur phase.” It may be because they are extinct and although they may have been huge and hungry, they are harmless to a child since they no longer exist. These mysterious and powerful creatures interest many children and are a fun and exciting way to introduce relaxation, mindfulness and meditation. There is nothing as powerful as this to help refocus, regulate and relax the human brain.

Magnificent!
We listened to the book as a family every morning on the way to school and every afternoon on the way back. I looked forward to listening to what happens next as much as my boys! The characters all have such distinct voices that it was easy to follow along and understand who was saying what.
It kept my boys totally engaged in the story and transfixed by the magic and vidid details! (As a bonus it was nice to have the kids not bickering in the back seat as they carefully listened to the story). :)
We are going to listen to it many more times!
