[blparent] Bedtime Stories...

[Dena Wainwright]

I think this is true, especially when the reader is good, or when the story 
contains music or multiple voices. I bought "The Shoe Bird" for Elise off of 
Audible Kids. It is for a child who is much older (probably preschool age), 
but the reader is the same person who does all of the Harry Potter books, so 
he is very animated and great at giving each character a different voice. 
Also, the recording includes songs. She has actually liked listening to it 
since she was 3 months old, even though I'm certain she doesn't truly 
understand what's being said.
