Here you can listen to some of Nip's favourite books being read aloud. If you want to follow the pictures and the words in the book, listen out for a tinkling noise. Every time you hear it, turn the page.

Click the ear to listen immediately (download may take a little while). Also, you can right-click on the link for each card, choose 'save target as' or 'save link as' (control-click for Macintosh users) and save the story to use on CD-ROM or your MP3 player.

There is a link for each book to the Gaelic Books Council website, where you can buy a copy. If you are a young person using this website, you will need to ask an adult to help you to order books.
