CD description: A giant pile of leaves awaits, multicolored and cushy soft. Your children imagine themselves leaping through the crisp air, landing in the welcoming bed of fallen foliage.

Soon, the twilight streets are filled with trick-or-treaters dressed as ghosts, goblins and witches, calling for candy. Your kids are ready to join the fun.

A Cozy Children audio adventure
CD description: We board the train bound for the English seaside, a place of warmth and play. The children wiggle their toes in the sand, taking in the shiny blue sea.
It’s a day for serene adventures, beginning with the construction of a clever sand castle. We buy a bright blue shovel and pail for the job. And then a flag to flutter atop, marking your child’s very own kingdom.
Then it’s off to find the ice cream man. A cool lemonade sounds delightful, too.
This being England, there’s a Punch & Judy puppet show for the delight of the laughing children. Mr. Punch sure is silly.
As the day ebbs, we find time to visit the tide pool, looking for tiny crabs and big sea shells. Your child listens for the sound of the sea inside a shell — yes! … how clever!
Where did the day go, so deliciously?

CD description: Take your kids on a trip to the toy store. Not just any toy store, but the biggest one ever seen. “Play here, in this safe place,” the sweet-voiced narrator says to her young listeners.
Use a special key to enter the store, which is overflowing with sounds and music. There are rows upon rows of toys. A golden teddy bear. A train set. Scooters, bikes and trampolines. A doll’s house like no other.
“Play as long as you like,” says the narrator. “It’s your toy store.”
Over there, big balloons. And some cotton candy. It’s almost too much fun, so kids learn to slow down with a simple breathe-in-breathe-out exercise. Then it’s on to more playtime.

We follow trails of light through this misty forest, stopping to observe a deer who clearly has magical powers. The forest creature’s fully realized senses awaken our own.
