– LISTEN TO WIN A SCHOOL VISIT AND LIVE READING FROM ANDY LEE –
The tenth time’s a charm for Andy Lee and his Do Not Open This Book series, with the latest edition, Do Not Open This Book It Stinks, now in stores, together with the read-along interactive audio version now available free on LiSTNR.
The new story takes readers on a journey of stinky smells, fascinating science facts and an unexpected encounter with a leprechaun. Voiced by Lee, the audio version features an engaging soundscape to bring the book to life and give parents and children an immersive read-along experience. Whilst the main character Wizz begins the story quite relaxed, it’s not long before he is bowled over by smelly footy boots, rotting fish and a skunk. As a touching tribute, Lee has dedicated this edition to his fiancée Rebecca Harding who, in a funny twist, inspired the stinky theme!
To celebrate Wizz’s stinky new adventure, by simply listening to the interactive audio version, kids can discover the code word for a special competition to win a visit from Andy Lee to read his book at their school!
Andy Lee said: “I sincerely hope no one listens to this for the sake of a blue monster called Wizz. He doesn’t want anyone reading the book or reading along with the book. So DO NOT listen to this audio book under any circumstance.”
LiSTNR Original Podcasts Head of Entertainment and Culture, Sam Cavanagh, said: “We’re thrilled that Andy continues to share the humour and creativity his audience know and love from Hamish & Andy, with younger audiences. Like everything Andy does, this interactive audio version of his new book is hilarious and will be enjoyed by parents and kids alike. All ten stories from the Do Not Open This Book series have been transformed into read-along immersive audio experiences and can be found on LiSTNR.”
Andy Lee is a podcaster, musician, TV presenter, and comedian and is best known as one-half of Hamish & Andy, Australia’s most popular podcast*. Lee became an award-winning children’s author by accident. The first book in the series, which he wrote as a surprise for his nephew George, was only ever meant to be printed once. However, since hitting bookshelves the series has gone on to be an international sensation and is sold across the globe.
Do Not Open This Week Book It Stinks can be sniffed out in stores and parents and children can read along with the free interactive audio version on LiSTNRnow.
