We love audio books. And I should say - we got started from our daily commute to and from school - now that we are less in the car, the kids still enjoy a good audio book as they color or do puzzles or play legos. Not all audio books are created equal. Sometimes the book is amazing but the reading is not quite as entertaining, or vice versa.
Here are a few of our favorite children's audiobooks, ones that we have checked out multiple times because they are just that good!
Lane Smith has two books that definitely top our list. The kids have LOVED John, Paul, George and Ben -- complete with a fun T/F quiz at the end and even a Beatles-esque song about the founding fathers. Also I just love when there is an interview with the author! The other favorite is Madam President. The kids love this take on being a president from a kid point of view. There are some fun pages, including one where she vetoes a whole bunch of stuff and each time in a different tone of voice or expression.
Oh how we love Laurie Keller! She has some stellar audio books and some super fun interviews as well! Some of our favorites are the Scrambled States of America and part two - the Talent Show, plus you really must check out the card game, too!
Exclamation Mark -- Amy Krouse Rosenthal has a number of great books, including Little Pea and Duck! Rabbit!, but Exclamation Mark as the audio version is just so cute- a good little grammar lesson wrapped in a fun story.
Skippyjon Jones books, by Judy Schachner are so fun to listen to, as well. The author reads them and the Spanish/English rolls off her tongue and the little songs come together as they were intended!
I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but that is a start!
Do you use audiobooks? Which ones are your favs?
