I'm trying to get the word out about a new service from the BBC - BBC Audiozone. It's an Audiobooks service, run by a company called Audible. The service offers a huge range of children’s titles including classics and current radio shows for kids of all ages, including: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Wind in the Willows, Just William, James and the Alien Experiment, Batman, and Thomas and Friends: The Railway Stories. There's plenty of audiobooks on the site for older listeners, too. It's a much greener way of consuming books, because there's no bleached paper, carbon-intensive distribution or waste of any sort involved.
All the content can be downloaded and played on PCs and MP3 players or burned onto a CD. I'm posting about it on these forums because I thought the service might appeal to parents looking to spend a quiet car journey, or a way to quieten the kids down for an hour or two.
If you're interested, you can find the site here:
