New Read Hear children’s book and CD packs at Idea Store Whitechapel

Oakhill children’s Audio book publisher has joined forces with award winning publisher Barrington Stoke to create fantastic new Read Hear Book and CD packs.

The concept is brilliant, first class fiction by famous authors, presented in a way that is easy for everyone to enjoy. Their secret lies in creating stories that hook you from the first page, stories that grab and don’t let go.

By listening to the story and following the book at the same time, words that can sometimes prove tricky to read are easier to follow, thanks to professional actors whose skills will help bring characters to life.
