An extract from a marvellous new celebrity reading of Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr Fox.  

Mr Fox steals food from the horrible farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean - one fat, one short, one lean.

These three crooks concoct a plan to dig Mr Fox out of his home, but they don't realise how truly fantastic Mr Fox is, or how far he'll go to save his family . . .

Princess Mirror-Belle And The Party Hoppers - Julia Donaldson

Children's stories are always fun to read and this is my performance and production of ZOG by Julia Donaldson.
I recorded this for my son, Darwin. It is one of his favourite books. 
As well as narrating the story, the reading includes four different character voices; Madam Dragon, Zog, Princess Pearl and Sir Gadabout.
The story features rhymes and has a poetic flow, the timing of the narration is aways important in children's stories.

I feel it is important to add that Soundcloud adds compression to uploaded audio files, which creates higher volume and a slight hiss on the audio. This does not appear on my own production, my own production is crisp and clean.

In the Night Kitchen, Maurice Sendak, read with Iain

The irresistible Paddington Bear, who was found on Paddington station, returns in this reissued novel, with a brand new cover design. 

 “Oh dear!” said Paddington, “I’m in trouble again.”

Somehow trouble always comes naturally to Paddington. What other bear could catch a fish in his hat, or cause havoc in the Browns’ kitchen just trying to be helpful?

19 - Miss Kearns - The Smartest Giant In Town By Julia Donaldson

The classic story of Paddington, the bear from Darkest Peru, who was found lost on Paddington Station. 

 “A bear on Paddington Station?” said Mrs Brown in amazement. “Don’t be silly – there can’t be.”

The Browns first met Paddington on a railway station – Paddington station, in fact. He had travelled all the way from Darkest Peru with only a jar of marmalade, a suitcase and his hat.

The Browns soon found that Paddington was a very unusual bear. Ordinary things – like having a bath, travelling underground or going to the seaside became quite extraordinary, if a bear called Paddington was involved.
