When Harry Potter first came out we read books 1-3 all snuggled up in bed.
But my kids were getting older and schedules made things harder.
That is why one summer we decided to start listening on CD.
This way I could make dinner or fold laundry but still be with them.
The kids would get their paperback copies out and read along.
This is one of our favorite memories we have. We loved listening to Jim Dale read. He is amazing. I think hands down the kids loved these moments more than watching the movies.
The narrator just brought these books to life. Plus, nothing is left out like in the movies.
The best part about it for me was that my kids really got motivated to start reading.
My oldest can't stop. I literally have to beg him to go out and play.
Thank you JK Rowling and Jim Dale for making my kids love BOOKS!!
I would definately recommend doing this as one of your summer activities.
He also narrated the Peter Pan series.
I think we will go get that for this summer.
