Audiobooks-Let's Hear it!

Listening to books when read in a dialect or native speaker's voice adds a dimension to the story. For years, as our girls were far away at military bases, we listened as we drove. It was wonderful. Grandkids expected to listen as we traveled, and to stop and comment, or ask definition. Once in a while we'd 'straighten our rooms' to a great tale...
So, now, we watch the kids grow and all of a sudden it's, "Report due tomorrow and I don't have the book..." AH, a saving grace is available...a new era. Bring them on.
