Stories on CD are big in our house. My four-year-old boy has been listening to stories on CD since he was about 2. He does so while playing quiet activities in the play room. It is a very calming experience for him, it seems, and after he has heard any given CD a few times, he really starts enjoying them even more due to being familiar with what's happening in the story.This Uncle Wiggily one may be the best one of our many that we own. Uncle Wiggily stories only came into my awareness recently as I read Uncle Wiggily Bedtime Stories: In Easy-to-Read Type (Dover Children's Thrift Classics) to my son a few months ago. The stories are ideal for four-year olds who are moving beyond picture books. They are whimsical and sweet without much dark or negative content (stories where characters face great peril are still too much of a challenge for this age group). The language used in these stories is neither too babyish nor too adult. I long to read Winnie the Pooh stories to my boy but the language is a little too winky and wry for this age.So, start with fantastic content in the stories themselves, and then record them with a fantastic reader, and that's what you have here. My only complaint is that there isn't a series of these CDs; there are hundreds and hundreds of Uncle Wiggily stories that are all in the public domain so please put some more of them on audio!For reference, here are the other stories on CD that have been well-loved in our house:
