Mrs Twain Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Please help. I can't think of any audio books for an upcoming car trip. We have listened to Narnia too many times. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esse Quam Videri Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Recently we listened to Where the Red Fern Grows on a long car trip, and the entire family was enthralled (and eventually in tears) together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Twain Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Awesome ideas. Thanks. Kids are 13, 11, and 9. We like Redwell, so one of those is definitely in the running. We loved Phantom Tollbooth last year. I am a huge fan of E. Nesbit, but we may have read most of her books already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF612 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 The Lightning Thief. We are on book 3 in the series right now on audio book. The One and Only Ivan. We enjoyed it as an audio book. Just get past the reading of the gorilla's glossary at the beginning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyhappyjoyjoy Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) The Jim Dale version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (my favorite line: "Have some wine," the march hare said in an encouraging tone.) The Family Theatre Radio Shows are great abridged audio books. All three of my kids enjoyed Little Women even though the boys wouldn't admit it. That was a great intro to LW, which is so long.

2queens&1princenmyhouse Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 My kids are 15, 13, and 8. We are working our way through the Little House books, but occasionally we have to wait on one from the library, so we've added others. Johnny Tremain Carry On, Mr. Bowditch The Great Trouble: A Mystery of London, the Blue Death and a Boy Called Eel Jefferson Son's We're a history bunch if you can't tell. :laugh: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Twain Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 I found The Lightning Thief audio book on my library's Overdrive app, so we are going to start there. Mr. Twain thinks it will be both entertaining and educational. Please keep making suggestions if anyone has more ideas. We will work through this list for the next couple of years. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 The guy who reads Just So Stories on Librivox is a hoot. And everyone should listen to The Magic Pudding at least twice in their life because they probably won't appreciate it first time around. :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingHope Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 My children are listening to The Mysterious Benedict Society and really enjoying it. We also finished Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nihm today. The Phantom Tollbooth is our favorite for car trips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
