Re: Positive/gentle alternatives to Adventures In Odessey?
These are slightly on sale. Two discs of Life on the Pond, which is similar but cuter/younger/gentler.

I prefer listening...they don't look like I imagined, and I think they changed a little of the narration to fit the visual format. But it's another way to preview.

Not Christian...but not secular either...we loved the audio book of James Herriot , A Treasury for Children.

We loved that one, too! Adorable animal stories from a veterinarian decades ago.

Re: Positive/gentle alternatives to Adventures In Odessey?
I grew up listening to Adventures In Odyssey. I remember siblings fighting, being mean, and by the end of it all after getting good advice and learning changing their behavior and making things right. I love that.
I remember parents making mistakes and working to make things better. And many more. That were fun, and the people usually learned their lesson and worked to change by the end of the episode, sometimes it carried into other episodes too before resolution was found. I love AIO and when ever I find them and can afford them I get them. There are a few darker episodes that do tackle really hard topics that kids have to deal with in real life, but not all. And while not appropriate for all ages I think they addressed most of those pretty well. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk
