Young victor frankenstein and his creations   
Book 6 of 6 – NUTTY BOLTS BIG SURPRISE  VICTORS BIRTHDAY PARTY   
 summary of this SIXTH AND FINAL book in the series is as follows: 
:Victor Frankenstein’s ninth birthday approaches, and Nutty Bolt—Victor’s first, imperfect creation—leads the others in planning a surprise party. As Whirly Gig delivers invitations, Stella Spark decorates with light displays, and Melody Maker composes music, Nutty secretly builds a "Family Portrait Machine" to capture their found family. When Victor accidentally discovers the project, he helps Nutty perfect it, sharing heartfelt memories of creating him. At the party, surrounded by villagers who once feared them, the creations celebrate how far they’ve come. Nutty’s gift—a portrait of their unconventional family—moves Victor to tears. He announces plans to expand the castle, giving each creation their own space and hinting at new additions to their mechanical family. That night, Nutty calls Victor "Father" for the first time, cementing their bond. The story closes with Victor reflecting on how his greatest invention isn’t machinery, but the love they’ve built together.  
The initial opening credit is operatic in style with both male and female vocals paying homage to the late 18th century when victor lived and runs to approximately 3 minutes. The closing music has both an element of classic and current music to add a bit of excitement to the end for the listening children. 
The story and music itself runs to just under 40 MINUTES and is narrated in the voice of claire francis, my wife. 
I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come

Second Childhood - When Eternity...

Clifford D. Simak

Second Childhood by Clifford D. Simak - Achieving immortality is only half of the problem. The other half is knowing how to live with it once it's been made possible—and inescapable!
You did not die.
There was no normal way to die.
You lived as carelessly and as recklessly as you could and you hoped that you would be lucky and be accidentally killed.
You kept on living and you got tired of living.
"God, how tired a man can get of living!" Andrew Young said.
John Riggs, chairman of the immortality commission, cleared his throat.
"You realize," he said to Andrew Young, "that this petition is a highly irregular procedure to bring to our attention."
He picked up the sheaf of papers off the table and ruffled through them rapidly.
"There is no precedent," he added.
"I had hoped," said Andrew Young, "to establish precedent."
Commissioner Stanford said, "I must admit that you have made a good case, Ancestor Young. Yet you must realize that this commission has no possible jurisdiction over the life of any person, except to see that everyone is assured of all the benefits of immortality and to work out any kinks that may show up."
"I am well aware of that," answered Young, "and it seems to me that my case is one of the kinks you mention."
He stood silently, watching the faces of the members of the board. They are afraid, he thought. Every one of them. Afraid of the day they will face the thing I am facing now. They have sought an answer and there is no answer yet except the pitifully basic answer, the brutally fundamental answer that I have given them.
"My request is simple," he told them, calmly. "I have asked for permission to discontinue life."
