Both of us (Sophie and Mama) love Johnny and the Sprites. Besides the wonderful songs and props, the stories are on moral values and character building themes (more updated than Barney I think). In one episode, Johnny "accidentally" turned himself into a baby for a day (he made a wish on Sprite Wish Day). And the Sprites sang him this song to coax him to sleep... I love the song so much I recorded it on my camera and to learn to sing it (before I found it on YouTube). Now, I hum the song to Sophie every night just before she falls asleep.
Thanks for sharing the story on you-tube...read some of the books but never got the chance to listen the audio, sound effect is definitely better...
ReplyDeleteno prob... i feel dat our reading skills (at least mine lah) is realli no standard compared the professional narrators. I tink audio books help to make our children better in their intonation and fluency.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do agree, mine also not good compare to those professional, but hor, try to read to her if possible lah, cos' no matter what, baby still prefers to listen to parents' sound, and we can adjust our speed according to their needs, I did try let Ethan listen the narration, and I observe he becomes restless, I guess it's either too fast or too "chiem" for him to understand...haaaa....he likes the pix and don't think he listens to the narration ...
