I had an iPod shuffle that Roy commandeered, and then which the Taz took from him for the long trips back and forth when we were house hunting/moving. It's been the best way to have great kid literature in the car, ( I love books on tape, even kid books, and driving through PA it's books on tape or religious nuttery on FM. It's especially nice when she can follow along with a book in hand. Roy was worried about her ears with normal head phones, so I figured out how to set the volume control to just so much and no more, and he found her some kind of special ear jobbies.

The shuffle is a lot tougher than regular iPods, etc, and it's been a nice boon.

She doesn't use it much in the house, because whatever she's listening to, we generally listen to it together, so I put it on the network and we can hear it any place, that's nice because sometimes she still needs help with vocabulary.

Youngest had a whole set of books with the books on tape that she just
loved. They were all the old native tales. She had her own little pink
Walkman and headphones and she'd get up in the morning before everyone else
and head into the familyroom and grab her Walkman and then go through the
books and tapes. She had quilt she'd drag along and that's where we'd find
her and the cat every morning. She loved to listen to the stories and
"read" along in the books.

Oh good catch...I am almost tempted to save those tell she's old
enough to read them on her own, they are so simple and told from such
an easy viewpoint...

I'll look for old ones with good pics.

I do read poetry to her but I find to keep her interest, it needs to
be really evocative. Shel Silverstein works.

Graeme Bass is fun. We made friends with the Kirks recently, he
writes the Miss Spider series, they are fun to read but she's getting
too old for them.
