Class reader - Danny the Champion of the World

It's a good idea to read every day, so I thought we could continue with our class reader, Danny the Champion of the World. To help with the reading, here is an audio version of the book. Why not read along with it? It is an 'abridged' version, which means that some parts of the story have been missed out to make it shorter, so don't be surprised if it seems to 'jump'! Each of these 30 audio files covers about 5 minutes' reading of the book.
