My 6 year old's opinion

Me: How do you like these stories, sweetie?
Son: I love them, Mama! That woman is a wonderful reader. Is she real?
Me: Yes.
Son: Are there more stories like this, Mama?
Me: Yes, and Mama will buy you more if you are good.
Son: OK, I'll be good, Mama!

Doesn't Come With Books

I bought this cd set for my son who is seven and loves this series. However, we have been going to the library lately and checking out the books that you can read along with. I thought that this series was that type but unfortunantely it wasn't. I did give it three stars though because my son still listens to them when he goes to bed and does like the stories. But, am very dissappointed that I am now going to have to go out and buy all the books so he can follow along. I bought these mainly to help in his reading skills and it has turned out to be more like a listening skill instead. Oh Well. The cd's are great but just wanted to warn future shoppers that it does NOT come with the books, you have to buy those seperately.

The best!!

This CD series absolutely captivated my 4-year-old (who doesn't have the patience to sit through most TV programs, not that I'm complaining!). She would have sat and listened to the whole entire 5 CD set in one sitting if we would have let her. Osborne's adventures are laced with historical facts and are a great choice if you're planning on going for long car rides. The only drawback was that the stories tend to be a little intense in spots--I would say if your child is very sensitive, you may need to take the time to explain some story details and monitor their reaction.
