I originally purchased this audiobook for myself because I am such a Clay Aiken fan. But after receiving the audiobook, I found it to be very entertaining and a joy for people of all ages. I have played the entire CD for various family members and neighbors and everyone loved it.

I am in the process of helping to supply the Arthur Stories for Heroes to my school district libraries. Not only will the children in the schools benefit from a beautifully produced storytime and bonus activities, but three very worthy charities for children will also benefit.

Please give this wonderful CD a listen, I know you will be as captivated as I am!

This is a great product because I can really enjoy listening to these stories while playing them for my son. He definitely loves it, but he's too young to know who Kelly Ripa or Clay Aiken or Tom Arnold really is. It's just so interesting and entertaining for me as a parent to listen to each celeb's unique reading style and performance. I found it comparable to watching 'Finding Nemo' and knowing Ellen Degeneres was the voice of Dorie or listening to 'Mike Myers' voice as Shrek. It just adds something special you don't find in other audio products, especially those meant for kids.

The interactive Arthur games, music and activities are just a delightful bonus. Anything to promote learning is a plus in my book. Definitely a warm fuzzy feeling too knowing some of this goes to support charity. A great product all around and thanks for making it!

I highly recommend this book to EVERYONE who's a kid-at-heart! This is a very cool product with a lot of bonus features.

Our kids love Arthur and hearing the animated, amusing readings of celebs like Clay Aiken, Marcia Gay Harden and Kelly Ripa was probably as enjoyable for me as it was for them. It's impossible to not smile when you hear Clay's reading of "Arthur's Computer Disaster" or not burst out into laughter when you hear Cheri Oteri's version of "Arthur's Pet Business." Marcia Gay's reading of Arthur's Tooth was really well done as well.

Most importantly my kids loved the stories, the Arthur music and the online games that are included and if I had to pick one series of stories to teach my kids about social issues and feeling good about themselves it would most definitely be Arthur.

Great audiobook, great bonus features and all for a great cause! I hope they end up raising a LOT of money for these charities. Great job guys!

I got this "Arthur" CD for my (90 year-old) mother because she loves Clay Aiken -- but she and several of the other residents of the nursing home adore the whole thing and feel more in touch with grandchildren or greatgrandchildren. The variety of voices is terrific, and it's very well produced.

My kids and I love listening to this audiobook. Each author had a different take on the story they were reading and my kids seemed to respond to all of them, especially Kevin Bacon!

The Arthur series is always enjoyable and with the proceeds going to charity, you can't go wrong with this purchase. I recommend it highly!

I bought this for my cousin who is obsessed with Arthur. After listening to it with her -- I just had to go out and buy one for myself! It is so much fun hearing the celebrities read -- and who doesn't love Arthur??!!

My kids love Arthur and this product is a nice treat! Each of the celebrities brought their own unique personality to the Arthur stories and make the entire Audiobook really enjoyable. It's also nice to see such wonderful celebrities take time out to record stories for charity.

Aside from the feel good factor, this is a really fun product that includes some of my favorite Arthur stories, pictures from his beloved books, the catchy Ziggy Marley theme song and a host of interactive games to keep the kids occupied. Don't be fooled! There's a lot on this little CD!

I highly recommend it.

WOW!!!!!My Daughter loved it and I found myself enjoying the audiobook as well. I guess I'm still a kid at heart and that's very refreshing!!!!And the fact that the proceeds go to non-profits is great.

I just got my copy yesterday and the kids and I can't put it down! The readings were really well done and amusing... we enjoyed Clay Aiken and Kelly Ripa's stories the most. Cheri Oteri's is by far the funniest. My kids really loved the bonus features as well such as the interactive games, Arthur song and Arthur pictures.

As a Mom, it's nice to know that I can give my kids a fun and educational product and that it's all for a good cause! Highly recommended.

We gave this CD to our daughter for her birthday as she recently has started listening to audiobooks and has enjoyed Arthur for awhile. This has been very nice to listen to in the car, and we were pleased to see that some of the profits go to a good cause. The only glitch is that many of the Arthur stories rely on the talented artistry of Marc Brown to convey the scene. Without the book directly in front of the child, parents really may need to explain what was visually shown by Marc Brown. Ex: In Arthur's Tooth, Arthur loses his first tooth because he is shoved by Francine. This is shown in the book, but never said in the story. My daughter wondered why Arthur was grateful to be pushed roughly. Aside from this, it has been great fun.
