Andy Lee’s first six interactive Do Not Open This Book audiobook series on LiSTNR is today followed up by the release of its newest addition, Do Not Open This Book For Eternity.
Available for free and exclusively on LiSTNR, the series is the ideal listening companion for children and their parents, as Lee encourages children “not” to turn the page.
Best known as one half of iconic Australian comedy duo Hamish and Andy, Lee became an award-winning children’s author by accident, as he wrote the first book in the series as a surprise for his sister and her husband to celebrate their son George’s first birthday.
When Lee asked his friend to print the book for his sister, his friend said: “This book is good, can we print more?” Lee replied: “No. DO NOT print this book.” The rest is history with the book winning 16 book awards, becoming a best seller in Brazil, Portugal, France, Italy, Japan and Iceland and being selected for Portugal and Brazil’s official state school reading program.
Head of parenting and kids entertainment at LiSTNR, Evan Kaldor, said: “The first Do Not Open This Book series has been a stand-out commercial and audience hit for LiSTNR. LiSTNR offers a premium audio experience and this is reflected in the high production values and whimsical narration by Andy as ‘Wizz’.
“The format also enables young children to develop their literary skills by reading along and interacting with the books. We hope that children, parents, carers, and educators enjoy this new addition to the award-winning series.”
Andy Lee said: “All I’ll say is DO NOT download it, DO NOT listen to it and if you accidentally do those first two things… definitely DO NOT enjoy it!”
Do Not Open This Book For Eternity is available from today, 13 September, on the free LiSTNR app.
