We have listened several times to "Vincent Shadow - Toy Inventor" (by Tom Kehoe), and "Nurk, The Strange, Surprising Adventures of a (Somewhat) Brave Shrew" (by Ursula Vernon). We found both by browsing titles at our local public library, and they are great fun. Oh - and "Aliens on Vacation" by Clete Barrett Smith.

The reader is so important - and the reader for each of these really added to the tales, which are awesome on their own.

Also Whizz Popp Chocolate Shoppe by Kate Saunders was great - using several actors for the various characters. It did have some scary parts for my DS7 - but he is very sensitive on this (e.g., he couldn't watch 101 Dalmations when they played it at school. "They're trying to KILL those PUPPIES!!")

One reason I like all the above stories is that they aren't so formulaic. We get a little weary of kids books that follow a cookbook recipe with only slight modifications. But that's another topic!

Have fun,
Sue
