About this title

From the Publisher:

In today's visually explicit society, busy parents need to give their children every advantage possible to help establish their own creative thinking and grow up healthy and productive in a highly competitive world. Hours spent in front of the TV have driven a wedge between many children and their parents and grandparents. Eye in the Ear introduces a step back to the future, with the age-old tradition of fireside storytelling, by presenting exciting, inspirational and educational stories designed to stir, challenge and inspire a child's imagination. Enchanting for the whole family, Eye in the Ear audio books make a wonderful gift for ages 3-99.

From the Author:

Eye In The Ear Children's Audio has been a family run enterprise, committed to producing classic, quality children’s stories on CD and cassette tape, for over 20 years.

Guaranteed to stir young imaginations, these stories provide a welcome respite from TV that the whole family will enjoy.

Today’s fast-paced society relies heavily on television. Children are inundated with violent visual images from video games, the Internet, movies, TV magazines and newspapers. Children still say, "Tell me a story". The problem is - amid these harried times of two working parents and single working mothers - storytelling is given little attention.

Children rarely have the chance or the environment to cultivate their own imagination. This troubling situation is what led Frances and Allan Kelly to develop Eye In The Ear Children's Audio Stories.

For each story, Frances worked closely with Allan Kelly, her husband/writer. Allan has adapted and revitalized this treasure chest of stories for dramatic audio presentation; often replacing narration with dialogue, or "Picture Words" says Allan, to highlight Frances’ "101 voices". The need for meaningful storytelling in a visually dominant society is profound. Although children between the ages of 3 & 12 are the primary target audience, all ages will be captivated by these inspirational audio stories.

The next project for Eye In The Ear Children’s Audio will be the creation of series IV- "Shakespeare For Children". All series are heavily endorsed.
