Fun for all ages!, July 24 2004

This review is from: Arthur - Celebrity Audiobook E (Audio CD)
I originally purchased this audiobook for myself because I am such a Clay Aiken fan. But after receiving the audiobook, I found it to be very entertaining and a joy for people of all ages. I have played the entire CD for various family members and neighbors and everyone loved it.
I am in the process of helping to supply the Arthur Stories for Heroes to my school district libraries. Not only will the children in the schools benefit from a beautifully produced storytime and bonus activities, but three very worthy charities for children will also benefit.
Please give this wonderful CD a listen, I know you will be as captivated as I am!

What's really cool about this audiobook..., July 13 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Arthur - Celebrity Audiobook E (Audio CD)
This is a great product because I can really enjoy listening to these stories while playing them for my son. He definitely loves it, but he's too young to know who Kelly Ripa or Clay Aiken or Tom Arnold really is. It's just so interesting and entertaining for me as a parent to listen to each celeb's unique reading style and performance. I found it comparable to watching 'Finding Nemo' and knowing Ellen Degeneres was the voice of Dorie or listening to 'Mike Myers' voice as Shrek. It just adds something special you don't find in other audio products, especially those meant for kids.
The interactive Arthur games, music and activities are just a delightful bonus. Anything to promote learning is a plus in my book. Definitely a warm fuzzy feeling too knowing some of this goes to support charity. A great product all around and thanks for making it!

Great Product, Great Cause!, July 2 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Arthur - Celebrity Audiobook E (Audio CD)
I highly recommend this book to EVERYONE who's a kid-at-heart! This is a very cool product with a lot of bonus features.
Our kids love Arthur and hearing the animated, amusing readings of celebs like Clay Aiken, Marcia Gay Harden and Kelly Ripa was probably as enjoyable for me as it was for them. It's impossible to not smile when you hear Clay's reading of "Arthur's Computer Disaster" or not burst out into laughter when you hear Cheri Oteri's version of "Arthur's Pet Business." Marcia Gay's reading of Arthur's Tooth was really well done as well.
Most importantly my kids loved the stories, the Arthur music and the online games that are included and if I had to pick one series of stories to teach my kids about social issues and feeling good about themselves it would most definitely be Arthur.
Great audiobook, great bonus features and all for a great cause! I hope they end up raising a LOT of money for these charities. Great job guys!
