Talking books are a effective way for kids to take delight in stories, irrespective of whether they are solid readers or just like a storyline read to them. Girls and boys can listen to talking books in all sorts of locations. A girl or boy can hear an audiobook walking to school. You can listen to an audiobook in CD format on a CD player or convert it to mp3 format and listen on an ipod, there are instructions on how to convert to ipod here
