A Stormy Night with Downloadable Children’s Audio Books

It’s a dark, stormy night and your little master storyteller wants to hear a new spooky story to add to his repertoire. Mom has grown up in the city and Dad is away two weeks for some drilling expedition. Neither Mom nor Dad can give Adam the ghosts he wants.

Adam donned in his teeny-weeny Spiderman PJs is not worried at all. He smugly tiptoes to his shelves and grabs his iPod. Despite his young age, his Mom and Dad agrees to his playing Podcasts on his iPod as long as he listens only to downloadable children’s audio books.

It’s his latest craze, these downloadable children’s audio books. With these audio books, he gets a whole treasure trove of moral lessons, besides stories. The little guy owns a great collection of stories and characters ranging from classics, fairy tales, humor, myths & legends, humor, animals, stories for children over 10 years, sci fi, fantasy and myths, not to mention Sunday religious stories.

For tonight, among his many downloadable children’s audio books, Adam chooses horror & ghost stories. There’s a good scene out there with the growling wind, dark night, and that squeaky garage door at the neighbor’s. He presses the Play button and listens to Groosham Grange. Then there’s eerie silence, which helps him focus, as all noises were drowned out by that horrible grinch-sounding voice on his headphones.

Groosham Grange doesn’t end in just telling a story. It carries with it value-laden thoughts that have a way to tug at Adam’s young heart and mind. If you remember it right, Groosham Grange is about a boy named David, who was sent out of his old school Beton College and sent by his parents to a strange school miles away from home, to teach him a lesson. This school has one holiday in a year and with its shabby-looking structure appears to be an awful place to stay. David’s parents thought their problems are over, but for David, it’s Pandora’s box that opened.

Same as many of his downloadable children’s audio books, fun-loving Little Adam can run, shout, and have some little thrills as he listens to Groosham Grange as well as sing or read, answer questions, or recite poems and dance from time to time. All these are great aids in improving his reading comprehension and locomotive skills and creativity as he thinks up images in his mind. He imbibes proper pronunciation, diction, and voice inflection all along.

So Adam is now into Groosham Grange as the character David. He’s starting to learn his lesson of doing good in school and paying some respect to Mom and Pop while at the same time hitting the right chords at some spooky tunes. He does all these things because he’s comfy whenever he listens to his downloadable children’s audio books.
