Memories of childhood

What a great find! Listening to "Caps for Sale" reminded me of books I read as a kid. Time to sit down and listen to this with my kids.

Love this book and the illustrations!

We've been slowly going through and buying the audible books from the With Synchronized Images category and have found that some are mis-categorized and don't have images. This one DOES have the original illustrations and we just love it! This was one of my favorite books as a child and I love that I can share it with my kid!

Good reading, problems with pictures

The story itself and the narration are good, but the pictures stop changing at a point. Also, the 'review this book' screen pops up before the story is finished and when you press the back button it takes you to the last picture and stays there till the end.

YES -- Pictures in the Audible App!

We recently discovered these kids audible books that have the illustrations in a slideshow as they listen to the stories on their fire tablets in the app. My boys (5-11) are all LOVING discovering their favorite stories over again with Audible! These are a STEAL!
