"Doctor Who" - Pest Control (Dr Who)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Audio CDs
by: Peter Anghelides

May 08, 2008
a talking book doctor who cd. read by david tennant, who plays the doctor on tv. This runs for two and a half hours spread over two cd's. It's not an audio play, it's more like one of the current range of doctor who novels, being read out by someone.

The story involves the doctor and current companion donna arriving on a world where humans and a race of alien centaurs are fighting a war. strange things are happening to some of the humans, who are turning into monsters. the tardis is lost. and there's a big robot on the loose that seems intent on killing absolutely everything. can the doctor rescue the tardis, stop the war, and find out what's really going on?

This is not a classic story but it's fine for what it is, ... Read More:

I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue: Anniversary Special (BBC Radio Collection)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Audio CDs
by: Various Artists

I'm probably preaching to the converted, but ISIHAC is intelligent, naughty, fantastic, foolish, sarcastic, and more.

iPod users beware - you simply cannot stop yourself laughing to this.

The radio in my car died and so I dug these out of my cupboard. Haven't enjoyed the commute so much for ages.

Don't miss out.

Michel Thomas Foundation Course: French (Michel Thomas Series)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Audio CDs
by: Michel Thomas

September 29, 2006
Let me start with on a good point and say that michels technique is a true work of art
Its only when you have listened to the tapes a few times(and you will need to in order to completely digest it) that you realise how clever he is at making his point.
It really is as close as you can get to painless language tuition.
When I had ingested this course i was convinced that I could speek fluent french,however it is only the introductory course so you will be needing the avanced course after.Which is also exellent,and much more involved.
Now for the bad bit:
I can not for the life of me understand how Michel could have let the course be published with the female american student!!
SHE IS A MORON.
I have never ... Read More:

Quickstart Spanish

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Audio CDs
from: BBC Active

March 06, 2003
I have bought a number of spanish courses, from Michel Thomas (god bless his soul) to GCSE bitesize. Yet still I could not piece together a simple sentence, let alone a conversation. I have one or two friends who are fluent in speaking spanish, but when I tried to speak I turned into a blithering idiot - the words just wouldn't come out, my brain just wouldn't work fast enough. Then I read the reviews on quickstart Spanish and thought - I must give it a go! Even though my bookshelves are already groaning under the weight! However, it's the best thing I've bought so far!I'm not saying that all the other stuff isn't equally as brilliant, but this just pieces together all the bits that are floating around in my head. It's fairly basic stuff, like ordering things, ... Read More:

This is an amazing item, I have tried many diferent techniques to learn Italian and this is by far the best. I really do encourage you to buy this you won't regret it. The voices used are really good as well, they saying everything clearly allowing you to understand quicker. The music is also an added bonus it allows the words to stick in your brain faster, and makes the experience alot more enjoyable. With this product its not a matter of having to use it, but you want to use it. Fantastic.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) [Children's Edition] (Harry Potter Audio Book)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Audio CDs
by: J. K. Rowling

July 21, 2007
Harry and co. are back in their final adventure and it is time for the battle between good and evil to end. On the run from the corrupt Ministry of Magic Harry and the rest of the Order of the Phoenix must discover a way of defeating Voldemort and saving the entire world as they know it. Harry, Ron and Hermione take on a dangerous task themselves as left to them by Dumbledore before his death. With few places left to hide and Voldemort's influence becoming increasingly powerful, Harry must race against time to kill the evil wizard.

Having read all the Harry Potter books it seems a shame that the final book is one of the weakest; probably being on par with the second novel. The mood once again is very dark and the sense of magic and fun that represented ... Read More:

The Secret

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Audio CDs
by: Rhonda Byrne

January 02, 2007
I enjoyed this book when I read it and have given copies to friends and family to read. Take out the nonsense areas like its all your fault when something major goes wrong .... scary statement indeed, and some of it makes sense. You can have so much more in life and all it takes is focus and belief ... if you can truly beleive it, you can acheive it. So much of this is taken out of context and without the incredible power that comes from the great master himself Napoleon Hill. I would urge you to read or listen to the 6 set cd series by napeleon hill ... Tony Robins and so many others have learnt and preach his teachings from almost 100 years ago ... it is the real thing !! The Science of Personal Acheivement. Its called. Its the real Mccoy. Rhoda and some great gurus of ... Read More:

Loved it, as do my 4yr old and 6 yr old. listened to it on the way to school and like the other reviewer had to stop myself carrying on once I had dropped off the children. So good to hear one of the classics as well, reminds me of my childhood!!

Michel Thomas Foundation Course: Spanish (Michel Thomas Series)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Audio CDs
by: Michel Thomas

September 29, 2006
I've just completed both this and the advanced course and I think that they are both excellent and achieve very well what they set out to do.

I think that a lot of the criticism of the courses come from people who do not know before they buy them what Michel's methods are about.

These courses will -
- give you a solid grounding in the structure of the Spanish language
- teach American Spanish rather than Spanish Spanish if you get what I mean, though as far as I can tell the differences are mainly ones of pronunciation
- give you a great big boost of confidence after only a very short time; you will feel like you're learning really quickly.

The courses will not -
- give you Spanish that you can use for holidays. There ... Read More:

My Completely Best Story Collection (Charlie & Lola)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Audio CDs
by: Lauren Child

October 05, 2006
Lovely books and lovely story cd's too. So much nicer in the car than mind bending childrens music ALL THE TIME! We've even managed to get our 2 year old to stay at the table for a complete meal if the cd is on. I cannot recommend this highly enough. It's just a shame there is only one story collection available.
