I found these wonderful books with audio cd for my oldest daughter who is now four.  Not only do I absolutely love the books the voices and music during the story are so captivating!  I had to share them with my third graders.  I was absolutely right, they loved them.  Each one has a main character that at some point feels they cannot accompish something, and towards the end of the story, they conquer great things.  I used them right before we had to take EOGs as a confidence booster.  I hope in the future to have a compare and contrast sheet for a listening center during reading time.  They are definately worth the purchase.
