IsabelC Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Narnia series would be the most used one we own. Others that the kids have enjoyed: Robin Hood The Hobbit Tale of Two Castles Greek Myths Gulliver's Travels Alice in Wonderland King Arthur Little Women And probably lots more that I don't recall right now. I usually look for things we have already read out loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsmm Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Peter and the Starcatchers series read by Jim Dale Anything read by Jim Dale (he does a great Alice in Wonderland) Roald Dahl Harry Potter The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series (we are only on book two, but so far they are so much fun) Narnia The Sea of Trolls and Land of the Silver Apples. We haven't started The Islands of the Blessed yet, but the first two were great. My kids are enjoying Percy Jackson, but I only listened to the first. The narrator wasn't very good, imo. DD read the books first, and she's enjoying listening to them again. Artimus Fowl series is kind of fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitterpatter Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Don't forget to check out the printed versions too for pictures! Anything by Eleanor Estes. Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates The Jungle Book American Girl series books (Kaya is an especially good one.) Little House series Anansi the Spider books by Eric Kimmel (Anything by Kimmel. These are picture books.) Greek Myths by Ann Turnbull (Be sure to get the printed book too.) Beverly Cleary books My DD likes Magic Tree House, A to Z Mysteries, Katie Kazoo and Geronimo Stilton too.
