My grandchildren are voracious story listeners ( though not always such voracious readers). At bedtime it’s always “just one more chapter, go on, please, please pretty please” and I run out of voice (especially if it’s just one more chapter of Lord of the Rings - those are long chapters). I’ve even been known to fall asleep while still reading…
If you’re in the same boat, or the parents are, I thoroughly recommend you download the Cloudaloud app. My daughter has tried Yoto I think it’s called but it needed a special box and then stories had to be added. With this Cloudaloud app the little darlings can listen to as many books as they like - there seem to be 1000s on there, they don’t need any special gadget and they don’t leave the app and get onto the internet so they’re safe.
Well I liked it so I thought I’d share
