12 foundational stories that will help you jump right in to the world of Odyssey!Connie Comes to Town (Contentment)Recollections (Fighting for your convictions)
I love AIO! We wanted to start collecting the series from the beginning. Our sister purchased Volume 1 (the adventure begins) for my son's birthday so I picked up what I thought was Volume two. This is not Volume Two. This is the Classics # 2. It duplicates stories from the original volumes. Still a great collection, but I was confused. Make sure you read the description completely.
If you are not familiar with Adventures in Odyssey, you will be soon enough with these CDs! They are wonderfully made and will transport you right to the little town of Odyssey. You do not need to know anything about the radio show to get into any of these stories and do not have to listen to them "in order". Our children love to listen to these before bed on their CD player (set with the sleep timer) as well as in our van. The characters are timeless and the stories are brief enough to keep even a three year old interested and listening. The actors do not seem like they are "reading" their parts and the addition of sound effects and music complete the imaginary transport into their world. We have many of these CDs and have given them as gifts.We are Roman Catholic and the stories do not conflict with our truthful teachings. Enjoy!
Our only complaint is the first 2 stories were on the previous CD set too. We LOVE Adventures in Odyssey and are going to keep buying them all to listen and share with others. We tried to listen to a book on tape the other day from the library, and the kids were bored to tears because they've been spoiled by the amazing stories, voices, and sounds from Odyssey.
This Odyssey CD is a great addition to any Odyssey collection. We have listened to Odyssey for several years now, especially on trips. The time seems to fly by while listening to these well-scripted CDs. My husband and I enjoy them as much as our kids.Reviewed by Penny Zeller, author of "77 Ways Your Family Can Make a Difference."
I gave this as a Christmas gift for my nephew. I bought this series from Focus on the Family when my kids were young and they loved listening to them for hours. If you are looking for something for kids that has moral and family values this is a great idea. Kids can listen to this at night to wind down or instead of TV time this is a great alternative.
My children enjoyed listening to these CD's when they were younger and I recall when it came over the radio the car had to become quiet as they attentively listened to Wit and the others. Now, I hope my godson and niece will enjoy it as much as my children did. I would have given them the ones I purchased years ago for my children but, for some strange reason they won't give them up and they are in their twenties!
My kids love these. They are very well done. One word of warning would be that they aren't geared for young ears. I wasn't expecting some of the content to be geared for a more mature audience (maybe 8 or 9 in my opinion--depends on the kid). Since we have younger children (5 and under), they only get to listen to a few of the stories until they are older.
