My children have liked this ebook for years (they are now five and 7). As a result of the tales use words from far-away locations, and an earlier time, studying them collectively has been a painless method to introduce many new and fantastic phrases into their vocabularies.

Born an animal lover, I read James Herriot's first 4 books in the 70's from center through highschool in Taiwan. Sure, Those books had been translated into Chinese and James Herriot was fairly common among e-book lovers there. I came to the United States in 1987 and since then, I bought and re-learn all his books in English. I discovered so many facets of his writing could not be precisely translated into another language, nonetheless his love and affection for all living thing are universal. Later, I watched and collected among the BBC adaptation and needed to admit that even though they had been effective manufacturing, they left you with little imagination. 

I nonetheless prefer the books and the audio CD's narrated by Christopher Timothy. Christopher Timothy's interpretation was excellent on film, however even better on CD's. When the book "James Herriot's Treasury for kids" got here out, I couldn't think of a better way to introduce my nieces and my daughter to James Herriot's writing and the animals around him. 

The kids love the tales and illustrations. However regardless of how hard I attempted, I may by no means be good at imitating the Yorkshire farmer's accent. When I discovered that an audio model of this ebook was accessible by way of Amazon, I used to be very excited the thought this could complete my James Herriot collection. Nevertheless, I was puzzled that Christopher Timothy did not narrate this book. Not realizing Jim Dale's earlier work, I was skeptical in regards to the quality of his narration. Now I'm glad that I used to be wrong. Christopher Timothy has been great with all his work, but I think Jim Dale is extra suitable for this ebook whose target audience are largely children. 

There is so much feeling and emotion in his voice that makes the stories much more charming than they already were. While listening to "The Christmas Day Kitten", I found myself sobbing at the end of story as if I had misplaced my very own pet. James Herriot's books mix good story-telling, ardour and kindness to every residing thing. This ebook will do just that for your children. The audio CD will simply add more magic to his stories.
