[CPSLibraries] audiobooks

[Chambers-Malewi, Dorsey J]

Dear Gabriela,
 
Scholastic has a bunch of wonderful A/Vproducts - including classic and popular books on DVD including books like "Click Clack Moo, Cows that Type" in both English and Spanish read by famous people, with read along text at the bottom. Rather than the old-fashioned video, where pictures of books are zoomed in and out, the new video has movement that adds to the book. I think Bernie Grant-Hill is your rep. for Scholastic.
 
Sincerely,
Dorsey

I have bought many sets for listening centers that include four paperback books and one CD.  I have used Weston Woods which is part of Scholastic -the CPS Scholastic vendor sells Weston Woods.  Also, Follett sells Live Oak Media.

I was wondering if anyone has a well-developed audio section of your library.  If so, what vendors do you use?  Are there any particular titles that stand out?  How did you go about developing your audio section?  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  

 

As for me, I'm trying to add to our small audio section, but two titles that I found to be outstanding are the audiobooks of: 

 

The Tale of Despereaux by Kate Dicamillo, read by Graeme Malcolm

and

Coraline by Neil Gaiman, read by the author.

 

Thank you!
