The Cat of Bubastes:
With Heirloom Audio Productions Egyptian history comes alive! This story is much more
than what you are thinking. It’s more than a story about a cat.We are all so very thankful when we were picked to review Heirloom Audio Productions' latest audio drama: "The Cat of Bubastes."
If your family or homeschool is looking for and new and
exciting way to learn history and faith, this is the right avenue. As you may have seen from my other reviews,
our family loves audio theater.
ABOUT G.A. HENTY:
Born in 1832, Henty became an author and war correspondent.
His adventurous stories are historical and exciting. They became popular in the
late nineteenth century and are still extensively read today.
THE LATEST AUDIO THEATER:
"The Cat of Bubastes”story takes
place during 1250 BC Egypt. The
story contains adventures of good vs. evil. This adventure is an awe inspiring tale which teaches character traits such as honesty, humility and faith.
Cat of Bubastes audio drama is recommended for children age
six and up. There is over 2 hours of historical fiction listening time which is
a great way to have fun while learning history. The cast of The Cat of Bubastes
includes some well- known actors such as Brian Blessed, Anthony Daniels, Elizabeth
Counsell, and John Rhys-Davies.
Along with the CD audio we received these extras which help
expand on the story. Included is a 47-page digital study guide. My children learned historical facts from listening to the story and also from answering the
questions provided in the study guide. While reading through the study guide,
I found instructions on how to make paper. The Egyptians used papyrus to make
paper therefore, this hands- on experience helps Egyptian history come alive. The
study guide contains comprehension questions and maps of the Egyptian area to
get a geographical perspective.
In addition to the CD’s and digital study guide we received:
* The Cat of Bubastes MP3 Set
* The Cat of Bubastes E-Book
* Official MP3 Soundtrack
* Printable Cast Poster
* Inspirational Verse Poster
* Behind the scenes video
G.A. Henty’s original book in electronic form is included so
your children can read the book on their own and experience the thrill all over
again.
What we thought of
The Cat of Bubastes:
Our family gives this audio drama 5 STARS!
This series is very well produced and it truly does bring
history to life. The music and the
actors are extremely professional. It makes you feel like you are near Thebes
watching the story unfold. This is the third audio drama we have listened to
and we look forward to hearing more produced by Heirloom Audio
Productions. We took a trip to Omaha, NE and listened to it on the way to the zoo, it
seemed like a quick trip. In addition, the colorful study guide has in depth questions which
helps me know they were really listening. We cannot empathize enough how much we enjoyed
the production. Go get your copy and tell your friends!
