Recordable Storybooks.
Imagine the setting: you're sitting by the fire, a glass of aromatic red wine in one hand, the latest NY Times bestseller. You're discovering that butler did NOT do it, but that it was... (Well, I can't ruin it for you, can I?)...
Where is your two-year-old?
He's resting quietly in bed, listening to his nightly story; but who's reading to him? It's a recordable storybook! Last week, you realized he only ever wants to hear Kiss Goodnight over and over, so you read it to him once, and let the book do the rest of the work. Now your voice is there, immortalized in those precious pages for him to hear... over and over... and over and over.
How wonderful is modern technology? You get to enjoy a few moments of guilt-free relaxation while your son gets his comforting story read to him by the person he loves most: you.
These books are perfect for all types of parents, whether they are in the next room or in another country. Parents who are in the military value the connection they can make with their children through these books. The child gets to hear their parent's voice and feel the closeness of their love, regardless of the distance between them.
The beauty of these books is the connections they establish: voices make us feel connected and close. These books also promote literary education. It's vital that young children get to see words as they hear them, but modern parents don't always have the time to sit and read to their children for long periods of time. Technology has helped bridged this gap between what we want to do and what we need to do.
