This only works if your patron is willing to call the "first result"
one that he (or you) gets to after paging through some others: At
Worldcat.org, go to advanced search, enter CHILDREN'S AUDIOBOOKS as
subject, limit to CD AUDIO and ENGLISH (if desired). You'll get about
2,000 entries, which you can then sort by author and go to Cles* (on
about page 30). Of course, it's kind of tedious, and not all items
will have this subject heading, but it's a place to start. You can
also Refine Your Search, using the list of authors on the left side of
the results page.
