The Witches (Audio Book) - Roald Dahl, Simon Callow (Narrator)

My little boy who is 7 is currently working his way through all the Roald Dahl books, and has this one on audio which he loves. He listens and reads at the same time. An audio book is the ideal introduction to a new author or to add extra interest in one that is already well loved.

The seven-year-old hero and his grandmother go against them at a convention for witches where they are plotting to exterminate every child in England. The boy is taken in by his grandmother (who knows a lot about witches and what they get up to) after his parents die in a car crash.
