This cd/book combo of "Cars " is a welcome break after listening to endless Thomas the Tank Engine books. The story is very well narrated and pretty much captures the essence of the movie. The books reads well separately from the cd-it has a nice flow and even with my comparatively bland presentation, is a hit. Someone at Pixar has great insight into the imagination of kids. I like that the cd begins again automatically, since it is invariably requested over and over again.
Great alternative to TV where I can let him listen to these while he flips through the book. Its about 8 minutes long which is alright. He could probably handle longer though. He's got 3 read along books and that buys me about a half hour where I can get stuff done around the house without having to worry about entertaining him. If you're going to let your kid switch the cds yourself I highly recommend making copies because they will definitely get scratched up.
My cousin in Japan has two children--8 and 5. Both kids know that they have family in America, and have learned a little bit of English. While my cousin and her husband can speak English, they do not speak it well enough to model good pronunciation, and they can't read English well enough to handle a print only version of this book. Until now, I had been sending CDs of me reading the books--kind of boring for the kids because there were no sound effects or anything engaging (and a lot of work for me). These books with the CD allow both children to hear English as it is spoken and learn proper pronunciation. They also become familiar with the concept of punctuation and English words. Plus, both children are familiar with the stories, having seen the movies. My cousin's husband has even used it to study 'slang' American English and to learn to recognize the different regional accents.The kids can listen to it either in the car or at home, and when they get old enough/advanced enough in their study of English, can use the book alone.
All audiobooks are not created equal, but having listened to this one approximately a zillion times in just a few weeks, I can say this one happens to be very well done! The story is condensed a bit from the movie, but hits all the main points. The narrator has an appropriately folksy voice, the zooming car sounds and little electric guitar riffs provide perfect background sounds, and the lines of dialogue taken directly from the movie work well. The CD lasts about 10:30, which makes it good for short car rides or for parents getting quick chores done around the house. Finally, the story itself offers a nice message about slowing down to do a job right and take time to appreciate things (towns and people) that aren't necessarily new and flashy.
This was a great favorite for the little boys especially in my family. I would recommend this storybook CD for younger boys who are reluctant readers. From what I have observed, they tend to like the story and like the format. I really like read-along books for beginning readers and this one is interesting to young readers. This particular book is colorful, fairly easy to read and most children have already seen the movie and are familiar with the story and like it a lot. I think it is a cute story. Five stars from me.
If you're like me and don't give your kiddo any actual screen time, read along books are a great alternative. Plus, my son gets to learn about pop cultural artifacts without starring at a screen. And I can get some chores done. Win-win.
I got a ton of these Disney CD Read Along Books for my first grade listening center. My kids really love them since many of my students are already familiar with most of these stories. This seller was better than others.
Conform to description... It was a gift for my swiss nephew to help him get some basic english with fun as he loves Cars... product came quickly and as described.. Nothing to complain about! And price is definitely right.
