Discovering Odyssey (Adventures in Odyssey Classics #2)

Adventures in Odyssey is always a good choice for families, especially with children. When our daughter was young, we found this series and have kept up with it through the years. Now, it's time for our grandchildren to become part of the AiO family. We gave our daughter the ones we had, so we needed to purchase a few new ones for our home. We also have some of the dvds. We love Adventures in Odyssey!

If you are not familiar with Adventures in Odyssey, you will be soon enough with these CDs! They are wonderfully made and will transport you right to the little town of Odyssey. You do not need to know anything about the radio show to get into any of these stories and do not have to listen to them "in order". Our children love to listen to these before bed on their CD player (set with the sleep timer) as well as in our van. The characters are timeless and the stories are brief enough to keep even a three year old interested and listening. The actors do not seem like they are "reading" their parts and the addition of sound effects and music complete the imaginary transport into their world. We have many of these CDs and have given them as gifts.We are Roman Catholic and the stories do not conflict with our truthful teachings. Enjoy!

My children enjoyed listening to these CD's when they were younger and I recall when it came over the radio the car had to become quiet as they attentively listened to Wit and the others. Now, I hope my godson and niece will enjoy it as much as my children did. I would have given them the ones I purchased years ago for my children but, for some strange reason they won't give them up and they are in their twenties!

My kids love these. They are very well done. One word of warning would be that they aren't geared for young ears. I wasn't expecting some of the content to be geared for a more mature audience (maybe 8 or 9 in my opinion--depends on the kid). Since we have younger children (5 and under), they only get to listen to a few of the stories until they are older.

This series is filled with beautiful messages of faith that focus on the family and God's love. The voice actors are unique and captivating. These are perfect for bedtime stories or for car rides.

Our only complaint is the first 2 stories were on the previous CD set too. We LOVE Adventures in Odyssey and are going to keep buying them all to listen and share with others. We tried to listen to a book on tape the other day from the library, and the kids were bored to tears because they've been spoiled by the amazing stories, voices, and sounds from Odyssey.

I gave this as a Christmas gift for my nephew. I bought this series from Focus on the Family when my kids were young and they loved listening to them for hours. If you are looking for something for kids that has moral and family values this is a great idea. Kids can listen to this at night to wind down or instead of TV time this is a great alternative.

This compilation of stories introduces some of our favorite characters and tells us about their past (Connie comes to Oddessy, Mr. Whitaker loses his wife and learns about faith through his mother). We listen to the stories in our vechicle as we travel throughout the city. I LOVE that my almost 5-year old is as happy to listen to Oddessy as he is to play Angry Birds. That's a tall order!

My little boy loves these stories
