Renthead Mommy Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 My son is loving the Jim Weiss Shakespeare for Children. He's listened to it numberous times. Is there anything else like it out there? More Shakespeare? Geared to kids? In audio form? He recently got his father's old Zune. It's got respectable playlist (combo of both mom and dad and less annoying kid things). But he's also got a number of books on there. While he'll listen to books on tape, he's really been listening to them a lot more with the zune. If he wants to hear Shakespeare, I certainly want to find him more! Any suggestions?

believe in miracles Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I just downloaded the Charles and Mary Lamb ones today, burned them to disc and ready to start introducing my kids to Shakespeare! It was a free download : http://librivox.org/tales-from-shakespeare-by-charles-and-mary-lamb/ I found the link from this homeschool mom's site, lots of fun stuff!! : http://www.squidoo.com/shakespeareforchildren#module7857393 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannah Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 We've enjoyed Stories from Shakespeare by Geraldine McCaughrean. It's a BBC Cover to Cover edition, but seems to be out of "print". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariasmommy Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Jim Weiss also has a "Romeo and Juliet" CD and one that just came out last year "William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and the Story of Rome". I bought mine from www.allegro-music.com - good prices there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renthead Mommy Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Thanks everyone. My husband is going to try and get either the Lamb or Nesbit onto his Zune. I'll have to check out the others by JW. When I amazon searched neither of those came up. I'm just so happy he is finally listening to something different from the same old thing as he always did before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
