childish inside thoughts played out loud
Every parent knows that children often get bored with their old toys...until someone else wants them. Listen as Nora and her father go through this very familiar childhood drama travelling through space in a taxi selling used goods. For ages 3 - 8. Written in beautiful melodic Jamaican Patois, Taxi Shop is the first audiobook from Yu-airit Audio Works.“It will likely take more than one listen to grasp this story for those who are not familiar with Jamaican patois, but it’s worth the effort to listen to its joyous delivery and musicality.” – Audiofile Magazine“The narrators use a Jamaican patois to relate the story, which includes a repeating, singsong verse as they arrive at each stop and rhythmic rhyming text throughout. The brevity of the tale, an all-too-familiar childhood theme, and the delightful melodic vocal presentation make this a fun choice for a quick bedtime story.” – Booklist

When you’re the baby of the family, you expect to receive the most cuddles, the most praise, the most attention. But what will baby do when that doesn’t happen? This little girl has some choice words for those whom she thinks have stolen her spotlight on her mother's birthday. For ages 4 and up. Listen to the very end for the bonus interview with narrator, Evelyn Naudus! The Birthday Present is brilliantly read by nine-year old Evelyn Naudus in her first full audiobook debut and directed by her mother, Audie Award-winning narrator Natalie Naudus. It is the second audiobook from Yu-airit Audio Works.“Naudus deliciously narrates this counting story. Her initial charm and enthusiasm deftly slide into pettiness, then full-blown snark (sorry, 'extra, extra, EXTRA hairy Uncle Gavin'), yet somehow, she still manages to keep us on her side. ... Naudus’ brilliant narration shines as bright as seven jeweled belts from Grandpa.” – Booklist

"I told my mother that I did not want to go to my sister’s friend’s birthday party dressed exactly like my lacey, frilly sister - who planned to bounce off planet and abandon me with strangers for a purple alien."'Use your words' is not a lesson one little girl needs to learn. She knows what she likes and what she doesn't like. And being dragged to a stranger's party? Goes firmly in the 'I don't like it' category. Obviously, her mother needs to make all the pain and suffering of this outing worth it. The solution? Cake! I Was Told There Would Be Cake is audibook 1 of 8 in the A Girl's Life series and the third children's audiobook from Yu-airit Audio Works. Take a listen to the first audiobook in the life of a sassy young legend who refuses to be at the short end of any deal.
