Sorry to have bot the book on CD.
Narration is dull and uninteresting. My son lost interest immediatley and I fell asleep. This was to keep us entained on a Summertime Roadtrip and hopefully give us some ideas to do with our scout troop. If I had bot the book, my son could have skipped through and found something to look at as well as read for himself.
