JK Rowling: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

A mysterious letter, delivered by the friendly giant Hagrid, wrenches Harry from his dreary, Muggle-ridden existence: "We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry". Of course, Uncle Vernon yells most unpleasantly, "I AM NOT PAYING FOR SOME CRACKPOT OLD FOOL TO TEACH HIM MAGIC TRICKS!" Soon enough, however, Harry finds himself at Hogwarts with his owl Hedwig ... and that's where the real adventure begins.

Valerie Thomas: Winnie the Witch

This collection contains six of Winnie and Wilbur's crazy capers. Meet them in their black house, take a hazardous ride on Winnie's broomstick, join them on a hot and sunny winter's day, find out what happens when Winnie's wand stops working, discover how much chaos a computer can cause and spend a day with them at the seaside! The stories are full of noisy antics: clattering footsteps, colliding broomsticks, clanking washing machines, whirring computers and splashing waves are just some of the wonderful additions to the narration of each story on the accompanying two CDs.

Mister Magnolia has only one boot. He has an old trumpet that goes rooty-toot - and two lovely sisters who play on the flute - but Mister Magnolia has only one boot. In this wittily rhyming picture book, Mister Magnolia has a full and happy life except for one serious omission - a boot. But one day, he receives a mysterious parcel, and at last Mister Magnolia can splash in the puddles with everyone else!

Four hilarious new stories, enhanced by Miranda Richardson's manic reading and really horrid music and sound effects, in which Horrid Henry hits on a brilliant way to write thank you letters, negotiates over vegetables, competes with Perfect Peter over which of them is sickest, and finds himself wearing the wrong underpants, with dreadful consequences.

Francesca Simon: Horrid Henry

"Das Buch gefällt mir besser, weil da kann man die Zeichnungen und die Zeilen sehen. Ich mag am liebsten 'Horrid Henry's Sleepover', weil ihm der Hund das Essen wegnimmt."

Two complete books - Horrid Henry and the double-award-winning Horrid Henry's Stinkbomb - enhanced by Miranda Richardson's inspired reading and really horrid music and sound effects. Horrid Henry is dragged to a dance class, makes disgusting Glop with Moody Margaret, discovers he doesn't like camping and tries to get even with his brother Peter. A stinkbomb becomes a deadly weapon in Henry's war with Moody Margaret, he wins the school reading competition, goes for a sleepover and sees Miss Battle-Axe ticked off by the Head when he knows it was all his fault.

Postman Pat

"Ich höre mir die schon gerne an, weil die immer die gleiche Musik haben. Alles andere mag ich. 'Postman Pat gets a pet' mag ich gerne, weil da eine Maus ist. Die Maus geht aus dem Käfig heraus. In dem Bus geht sie heraus. Die Leute im Bus schrecken sich, weil es kitzelt. Und das ist lustig."

Postman Pat, the world's most famous postman and his black and white cat, Jess, deliver a fantastic package of fun and adventure in this great triple CD travel pack. This collection features recordings of the original Postman Pat television series along with "Postman Pat gets a pet"....

Ian Whybrow: Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs

"Es gefällt mir schon, weil da Dinosaurier sind. 'Makes a splash' mag ich gerne. Das mag ich, weil das Wasser hat."

The collection contains some of the popular Harry stories. Charmingly read by Andrew Sachs, these stories feature specially composed music, lots of noises and amusing sound effects, and a theme tune that will have Harry fans roaring with delight - Raaaaah!!!
