Playaway Audio Books
Click here to find them on the catalogue
We have a new collection of talking books called Playaways. Playaway Audiobooks are an all-in-one, portable listening device. There are no discs or cassettes--just plug in the headphones and away you go. Much like an Ipod, a Playaway will fit in your pocket while you are on the bus or riding your bike. They are light, convenient and easy to use. You can stop and start the story where you want, bookmark your favourite points or rewind if you miss a bit. Each Playaway comes with a set of headphones and a spare battery. If you have an adaptor, you can plug the Playaway into your car radio, home computer or CD player.
New Talking Books on CD
CD CoverThe Wish Pony by Catherine Bateson
Ruby's mum is having a baby, but why does she need one of those when she's already got a Ruby? To make matters worse, her best friend Sarah has just found another, BETTER friend. It seems like everyone is abandoning her. But when Ruby meets the mysterious Magda, who gives her a very special gift that might, just MIGHT even be a bit magical, everything begins to change.
CD CoverHow to Speak Dragonese by Cressida Cowell
Climbing onto a Roman Dragon Rustling ship by mistake in your first "Boarding an Enemy Ship" is bad enough. But to then discover that Alvin the Treacherous is also on board proves to Hiccup he couldn't have been more wrong, especially when he steals his copy of "How to Speak Dragonese". Can Hiccup save the dragons and the day?
CD CoverArthur and the Invisibles by Luc Besson
Join Arthur as he embarks on a journey to the land of the Minimoys, a tribe of people less than one inch tall, to find his missing grandfather and a stolen treasure. Arthur joins two Minimoy friends on a trip to the forbidden city of Necropolis, where they battle the evil wizard Maltazard. Now a major motion picture brought to life by Luc Besson himself!
CD CoverGoblin at the Beach by Victor Kelleher
From the ski slopes of the Snowy Mountains to the rainforests of Far North Queensland -and everything in between - Gibblewort the goblin has blundered, crawled and whinged his way through Australia's vast landscape. So surely a relaxing day at the beach will be safe?! Not if 'fun in the sun' includes frying your feet on hot sand, accidentally chugging down sun cream and hitching a ride on an angry shark. Can Gibblewort beat the heat and finally get back home to rainy ol' Ireland?
CD CoverThen by Morris Gleitzman
Then is the second story of Felix and Zelda. They escaped from the Nazis, but how long can they now survive when there are so many people ready to hand them over for a reward? Thanks to the courage of a kind, brave woman they are able to hide for a time in the open, but Felix knows he has a distinguishing feature that identifies him as a Jew and that it is only a matter of time before he is discovered, which will mean death for them all. Even though he promised Zelda he would never leave her, he knows he has to, before it is too late.
