"Even I remember Scholastic growing up," said Doug Ross, President and CEO of AudiobooksNow, referring to his advanced years. "I'm sure we've all been touched by Scholastic's publications at some point in our childhood. Audiobooks can enhance children's love of books as much as reading does." Ross said.
