What better picture book than the one in your child's imagination.
Audio storytelling is a brilliant way of engaging and entertaining young children. In fact, audiobooks introduce pre-readers and early readers to fall in love with stories before they can read the text for themselves.
Voxblock's audiobooks are designed for their robust audiobook player, stories include classics that your parents probably read to you when you were young, and classic musical pieces such as the Nutcracker and Swan Lake.

Bored of reading a book with no pictures, Alice follows a passing rabbit down his rabbit hole. And so begins Lewis Carroll's classic tale of puzzles, riddles, and some of literature's most eccentric and memorable characters.
Peter Pan
The Darling children are whisked away to Neverland when a mysterious boy called Peter Pan appears at the nursery window. They are thrown into a world of magic and adventure, but the evil Capitan Hook is never far away...
A Christmas Carol
Scrooge's heart is colder than snow, he's richer than half the banks in England and meaner than, well, everyone. But when three seriously spooky ghosts take him on an adventure through time, he soon learns that being cold isn't cool. Can he change his ways before it's too late?

1001 Nights
The music is a selection from Rimsky-Korsakov's symphonic suite Sheherazade, which was inspired by the Arabian Nights. Although not originally performed with spoken commentary, the narrator provides children an insight into the kaleidoscope of fairy tale images and an understanding of different themes woven into the music.
Our Tips
Save up the stickers/coupons you get with each audiobook. You get a free one per 10 stickers.
There's no need to buy loads of blocks (audiobooks). One block will last you for ages if it's pitched right. The blocks themselves are built to stand the test of time and toddler tantrums! (Unlike the cassettes I broke as a kid!)
Voxblock SHOULD mean your kid has a good incentive to stay in bed at night! Or sits quietly in the car, quietly absorbing new words and stories!
