swellmomma Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Which are your children's favorites? Ds13 has asked that I get some with our school books this year. In my effort to say yes to more things, especially simple innocent things like that I agreed. He specifically requested the one called Hidden treasures. They listened to them at camp (and we used to get them from the library) and that is his favorite one. I would like to pick out 1-2 more to add to the cart, so which titles of the series are your kids favorites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 We haven't listened for a long time but we like #43-Along for the Ride and #46-A Date with Dad. My ds's don't like the newer ones; they think the new Whit sounds too much like Bernard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethben Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 My boys liked the Novacom series (http://www.amazon.com/Novacom-Saga-Action-Packed-Adventures-Odyssey/dp/1589975413/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1343594423&sr=1-1&keywords=adventures+in+odyssey+novacom) or anything to do with Blackgaard (http://www.amazon.com/The-Blackgaard-Chronicles-between-Adventures/dp/1589976258/ref=pd_sim_b_2).

shellbelle Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 My son is an avid Odyssey listener! He recommends: I Slap Floor (yes, I spelled that right!;)), The Novacom Saga, Do or Diet and The Great Wishy Woz. He is also a huge fan of any episodes featuring Wootten Bassett and Harlow Doyle, Private Eye.:D My absolute favorite is Madge and Guy.

crazyforlatin Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Just in case he needs to listen to some today: I tend to download to iTunes like crazy every few months on their free site. I don't have flash on my iPad, but it looks like now kids can listen their show 24-7 here for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godsaggie Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 The Truth Chronicles and Cause and Effect ... both are newer. Someone above mentioned anything with Blackgaard. My dd10 loves the ones with the mysterious stuff happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassoonaroo Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I also like I Slap Floor! We bought Novacom a couple of years ago and it sure made that 24 hour road trip go better. It's a bit darker than some other AIO series, so probably for older kids. Our first AIO's were those on the eight red disks in the CD visor pack. Based on mysteries or something like that. It was a nice introduction to AIO. Since it's an older set sometimes we see it on sale for $14 or so. Date with Dad is also good. And they have a set of historical ones where the kids bump into Nathan Hale, visit the Underground Railroad, etc. Actually, can't think of any I don't like!

mom2abcd Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Bumping up this old thread.... There's a great sale going on here: http://www.hoerrs.com/shop/kids_place/kids_books/books_with_media/?&limit=24 They have a dozen albums 50% off and free shipping with $89 purchase, I think. These shows have helped us stay awake for more cross-country drives than I care to remember! Kids and adults alike love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
