I just want to let you know that all opinions are my own and I may earn from qualifying purchases. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. Enjoy and feel free to share with your friends!

I should be ashamed of myself…
I have been writing and constantly badgering my
mommy friends to raise a child who loves to read and to encourage a child to ask questions…
You see, sometimes, I get engulfed in my busy,
crazy world as a mom, an employee, a yaya*, a maid, a home finance manager, that
I sometimes fail to read my seven year old boy’s nighttime stories.  In fact, his endless questions of how come’s
and why’s have been answered half-heartedly by a distracted mommy. 
 
Thankfully, dad has the patience to answer
practically all his questions and I have some audio books that the little boy  can listen to when I am so exhausted I can’t
muster enough energy to even read.
My son’s introduction to the wonderful world of
audio books began two months ago via Tales4all’s Treebob Series by Declan
Harney.  The series made up of:
  1.           The
    Treebobs and the Dizzy Broomsticks,
  2.           The
    Treebobs and the Runaway Cauldron,
  3.           The
    Treebobs and the Giant Mole,
  4.           The
    Treebobs Rescue Rotten Rena, and
  5.           The
    Treebobs Save Christmas

revolve around the adventures of those forest
elves called Treebobs and their fairy friends and how they always try to thwart
the evil plans of the forest’s resident witches named Badlot Barbara and Rotten
Rena.
My son’s favorite in the series is “The
Treebobs and the Runaway Cauldron”.   It is all about Rotten Rena being in big trouble. 
Her wicked spells are not working and she has to win the great egg and
cauldron race otherwise, she will be kicked out of her cottage and the forest and a far more
evil witch will replace her.
I was expecting my boy to ignore it.  After all, kids nowadays are very visual. I have
listened to radio soap operas as a kid so I enjoyed the story quite a bit.  Amazingly, my son, the one who grew up when
technology was exploding and video games literally make you feel like you are
in the game, sat through the whole story and was taken with the funny and
spooky sound effects.  We had to listen
to it twice before he understood the story though, because he can’t get over
the thought that back in my parents’ time, people actually listened to stories
without watching them.  He kept inserting
questions like when was the television invented and why was it in black and white.
He laughed at the creepy sound effects and
loved the narrator’s accent.  In fact, it
would take a week before he stopped his “Let’s-talk-like-the-British-do” stunt
during dinner time!
My son has since listened to the stories
countless times and is looking forward to new Treebobs adventures. 
For my part, I love that these audio books
improve my child’s listening skills. 
Like books, these audio books literally spark a child’s
imagination.  Images of how the
characters and how the forest must have looked like purely depended on how the
child imagines them to be.
So why don’t you head over at Tales4all.com and
catch a sneak preview of The Treebobs series!

    I also feel guilty when I have to rely on my little girl's ebook's storyteller. In return I make sure I am the one holding the tablet for her while my eyes are shut.

      The great thing is that our e-book can babysit for us. I know parents who frown at giving their kids too much technology, but I mean, mommy can only do so much! She needs a break too lol

    I have some kids' audio books sa tablet ko that I share with my nephews…kaso, having just one gadget shared by 3, riot hehehe….Di naman rich si Tita para bigyan ng tig-iisa sila hehehe

    • Cym Marzan says

      I agree! Riot talaga! Especially when they are very young and cannot understand the 'sharing' concept. My eldest would love this, Marie, she loves listening to stories. I have StoryCub on my podcast. It has videos of storybooks being read while showing the book pictures.

      Lucky nga sila they can use tablets. Ako nun, I look at my cousin's collection of books dreamily (and I have this battered book called See, Jane See -or something. It taught me how to read lol)

    It's really interesting and can improve kids' listening skills.

    Haha! naalala ko lng, when I was a kid, I got so scared with this radio drama about aswang every 6pm. I tried to stay far away from the radio, para di ko masyado marinig. It's my lolo kasi who wanted that radio drama. Reminiscing =)

    • Marie Bulatao says

      May 3, 2013 at 8:31 am

      Ako naman, I look forward to those mumu radio drama. Scary ang sound effect haha and come to think of it, it enhanced naman our imagination

    You're a good mother who taught her offspring to read books and other learning media while growing up.

    These seems good reads for the kiddies! I should tell my brother about it for his kid.

    Treebobs looks like a really good series for kids.

    I like reading books and listening to audio files. Surely, my nieces/nephew will love that book too.
