The Railway Children (BBC Children's Classics) - Card for Yoto Player / Mini

Three siblings transported from the city to the country in cryptic circumstances discover new beginnings at the local railway in the much-loved classic. 

Paul Copley and Timothy Bateson star in a BBC Radio full-cast dramatisation of E. Nesbit's enchanting and unforgettable classic. Roberta, Peter and Phyllis lead an ordinary suburban life with Mother and Father, enjoying trips to the zoo and the pantomime. But when Father is mysteriously taken away one night, everything changes. The children must move to the country, to a little white cottage near the railway line, where eventually they find that there are plenty of adventures to be had and friends to be made – including Perks the Porter and the Station Master himself. But the mystery remains – what has happened to Father, and will he come back?

The story of Roberta, Peter and Phyllis and their life in the country has never been out of print since it was first published in 1906. Charming, sentimental and unforgettable, the novel retains all its enchantment and enduring appeal in this BBC Radio full-cast dramatisation.

Yoto Cards let kids choose which audio content they’d like to listen to on their Yoto Player. Just pop a Yoto Card into the top of your Yoto Player to start the audio and take it out to pause. When you reinsert your card, the audio starts from the moment you paused it.

Yoto Cards are sturdily built to resist the destructive powers of tiny hands, and the NFC chip in each allows the Player to read the content. Parents can also trigger playback on compatible smartphones by tapping the card on the back of your phone.

Requires Yoto Player.  Yoto Player is a carefully-connected smart speaker for kids, which lets children listen to audiobooks, music, podcasts, sound effects and more using physical cards. Yoto Player is built for kids from the ground up and plays only the audio that you want.
