He really adds to the stories. Hearing some of the pronunciations is very helpful. My oldest grandson and I had a discussion about how to say Hermione. I remembered the name from 'Bell, Book, and Candle' - way before his time.
I got my youngest grandson the last one on tape. Since he is only in the 2nd grade, I thought the book might be too much for him. My son has loved the tapes - listens to and from work.
