Aurelia Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Just So Stories, (version 5, I think) read by Tim Bulkeley The Railway Children read by Karen Savage Those two are my favorite readers, but I haven't had a chance to do much more than sample some of their other works, though we have listened to a couple of the Tales from Shakespeare stories read by Karen Savage. We'll probably be starting The Treasure Seekers read by her soon. I wish I could find a really well-done version of The Jungle Book. I'm uber-picky, and the versions I've found just don't light my fire, and I really don't want to read the book aloud myself. For some reason, I have trouble reading Kipling's prose. We wouldn't even have done Just So if someone else hadn't done the reading for me. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystie Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Can anyone tell me the best way to get Librivox books onto an iPad? Here's what I do: 1. Download the entire book's zip file. 2. Right click and open with iTunes. 3. Put all the files into a playlist. 4. Plug the iPad to the computer, open iTunes, and select that playlist as one to sync onto the iPad.

Aurelia Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 What qualities are you looking for? My children really enjoyed The Jungle Book read by Meredith Hughes on Librivox. I'm looking for something more like a professional reader with an excellent voice. I listened to part of the Meredith Hughes recording and could. not. stand. it. Her voice grates on my nerves.
