About Audio Bookshelf
 

Audio Bookshelf has been producing and publishing award-winning audiobooks since 1992.
Here are our criteria:
. Will this audiobook give something of value to listeners of ALL ages? Will it entertain? Will it stick with the listener and broaden their horizons in some important way?
.What makes a good audiobook? Does this material really lend itself to the medium?
.Who is the best narrator for interpreting the material?
Each of our productions has its own page on this site, complete with reviews -- and many have Curricular Connections (see below). And here is our guarantee to every customer:

The history of Audio Bookshelf...Heather Frederick founded Audio Bookshelf in 1992 and continues to produce audiobooks for the company. In 2004, on a path of strong growth, Audio Bookshelf broadened its management base and publisher David N. Dittmann took over the helm. We continue to be committed to the best audiobooks available and to serving you, our customers, in every way we can.

Curricular Connections  
and find out - the link is at the
bottom of each audiobook title page!

The Curricular Connections on this website have been developed by Children's Literature Resources, a partnership of two children's literature experts with years of experience in the classroom and library.

Sheila M. Geraty has spent more than ten years immersed in all aspects of library work, children's bookselling, and critical evaluation of children's literature. Presently a librarian at Brookwood School in Manchester, Massachusetts, Sheila reviews children's and young adult books for The Horn Book Guide and is completing her master of library science at Simmons College.

An Assistant Professor in the Language & Literacy Division of the Graduate School of Education at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Sheryl Lee Saunders has taught children's literature courses to hundreds of educators, both in Cambridge and throughout much of the country.

She holds a master's degree in children's literature from Simmons College, and is also the author of Look--And Learn!:  Using Picture Books in Grades Five Through Eight (Heinemann, 1999).  Saunders lives with her family in Chatham, Massachusetts.

Sheila and Sheryl both hold masters of arts degrees in children's literature from Simmons College; both contributed to Children's Books and Their Creators (Houghton, 1995). The two children's literature consultants conduct teacher in-services, perform workshops, and speak to parent and educator organizations, all in an effort to promote literature and literacy at schools and in homes.
