love Helen Mccalpine's performance, she brings the story alive and makes you believe in the characters. I could listen to her voice all day

On Her Majesty's Secret Service (with Interview) cover art

I loved this and couldn't wait to listen when I had a moment. David Tennant's narration is superb and I believed all of his character's. Good, nostalgic escapism in true James Bond style.

Disappointing narration

I got this book for my daughter, who is bi-lingual, but whose stronger language is English. She loves dragon and fantasy stories and although the content of this is good we have been disappointed in the narration which I think lacks flow and expression and feels a little rushed.

El Nino de Cabeza cover art

A simple and uplifting story

Overall
4 out of 5 stars

Juan Felipe Herrera is the author and narrator and I find his stories simple and uplifting, as he speaks about a childhood with very few material posessions but a great deal of love. He reads expressively as if he were reliving the story, and reads at an unrushed pace which is pleasant to listen to and easy to follow for a spanidh learner. Good for bedtime listening as it is so positive and beautifully read.

My Very Own Room/Mi Propio Cuartito cover art

Very beautifully read at a gentle pace

Overall
4 out of 5 stars

Very beautifully read at a gentle pace, in both Spanish and then English, which is very good for young learners. Although my girl is 11, and we have been a couple of years in a spanish speaking country, she enjoys this to listen to to relax to. She's dyslexic and the switch to an unrushed audio is a break. This would suit much younger listeners too, and the dual language can be very helpful and isn't obtrusive.
