Books on CD or MP3

Books on CD or MP3 are audio editions of fiction and nonfiction works read by voice actors or the author.

Both formats require a CD player to work.

Playaways are pre-loaded audio recordings of popular books that do not require a CD player.

You simply provide your own headphones and a AAA battery!
