It’s a dark, stormy night and your little master storyteller wants to hear a new spooky story to add to his repertoire. Mom has grown up in the city and Dad is away two weeks for some drilling expedition. Neither of them can give their precious only son Adam his most sought-after spooks.

Adam who is now wearing his tiny pajamas has no worries about it. He confidently reaches for the shelves to get hold of his iPod. Yes, Mom and Dad said yes to his playing Podcasts on the iPod, given that it plays only downloadable children’s audio books.

It’s his latest craze, these downloadable children’s audio books. Through these, he discovered a treasure trove of lessons, not only stories. The little guy owns a great collection of stories and characters ranging from classics, fairy tales, humor, myths & legends, humor, animals, stories for children over 10 years, sci fi, fantasy and myths, not to mention Sunday religious stories.

For tonight, among his many downloadable children’s audio books, Adam chooses horror & ghost stories. The howling wind, the moonless night sky, and that loud squeaking from the neighbor’s garage door make a good horror movie setting. He presses the Play button and listens to Groosham Grange. A quaint silence ensues, which makes him focus, since all the noises in the surroundings were drowned out by that horrendous voice on his headset.

Groosham Grange is not just another spooky story to tell. It has with it some valuable lessons that has a way to win Adam’s heart and mind. If you remember it right, Groosham Grange is about a boy named David, who was sent out of his old school Beton College and sent by his parents to a strange school miles away from home, to teach him a lesson. This school has one holiday in a year and with its shabby-looking structure appears to be an awful place to stay. David’s parents thought their problems are over, but for David, it’s Pandora’s box that opened.

Same as many of his downloadable children’s audio books, fun-loving Little Adam can run, shout, and have some little thrills as he listens to Groosham Grange as well as sing or read, answer questions, or recite poems and dance from time to time. All these are great aids in improving his reading comprehension and locomotive skills and creativity as he thinks up images in his mind. He imbibes proper pronunciation, diction, and voice inflection all along.

So Adam is now into Groosham Grange as the character David. Adam has silently learned that he should do good in school and respect his parents as the story’s lesson while he sings to some of its spooky tunes. He does all these things because he’s comfy whenever he listens to his downloadable children’s audio books.
