Tales of Beatrix Potter Audio Book
"Nadia May's dramatization is very good. Peter Rabbit is young and reckless, SquirrelNutkin as rude as can be, the cats sound dangerous, and the mice in "The Tailor of Gloucester"well,
they sound just like the most sociable mice I know."AudioFile
This collection of eighteen of Beatrix Potter's charming stories about Peter Rabbit, Tom Kitten, Squirrel Nutkin,
Mrs. Tittlemouse, and the others have enchanted children for over a hundred years and will surely do so well
into the future. Beatrix Potter's tales were often connected with real places, people, or animals, so each story
also includes a brief introductory note about its history.
Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) born in Kensington Square, London, England, was raised by governesses and nurses, with little interaction with her parents. Alone in the third floor nursery, she spent her time studying and sketching the small animals that were her closest companions. Her brother Bertram was born six years later and for a time they became inseperable companions. In the summers the Potter rented a house in the Scottish highlands and here the children would spend joyous hours exploring the countryside, gathering plants, insects, rocks and fossils.
Nadia May has been nominated as an AudioFile Golden Voice five years running and is a winner of thirteen AudioFile Earphones Awards. She is the co-founder of TheatreFirst, a theater company in the San Francisco Bay Area where she currently lives.

Four Reasons Why Audiobooks are Extra Convenient
1) You save time, because you can listen to an audio book anywhere and everywhere. The possibilities are endless. Imagine how many things your kids can learn during road trips simply having your MP3 player with audio books at hand.
2) If like me you love reading and don't have enough time, audio books can give you the opportunity so that you can read many more books which you might not otherwise have time to read. We all have times in our lives that we look to fill and audio books can fill these times without taking too much time out of our daily lives.
3) Audio books can be a blessing for blind people, disabled people or people with impaired vision. Everyone should have the chance to experience and enjoy a book and in many cases, this is the only way for such persons to do it. Spoken books can help these people improve their education, develop new hobbies and habits and greatly enriching their life, both personally and professionally.
4) Audio books can be used in the most important skill a child can ever acquire which is the ability to read. Audio books can be easily used to stimulate literacy in children. Children can listen to audio books whilst following the story in a paper book. They could also listen just to gain and improve vocabulary and communication skills. If you want to instill in your child the love of reading, audio books can be a excellent start.
These are only a few good reasons and benefits of using audio books. There are many more benefits of using audio books, but even these few reasons should be enough to convince you to enter the exciting world of the spoken books.
