AggieMama Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 My girls and I will be in the car a lot this next year. I'm looking for suggestions for books to listen to in the car and videos to watch. I'm currently reading Winnie the Pooh to them and they love it. They also like Bad Kitty, Princess in Black, and BabyMouse. I would like to keep the audiobooks more quality literature. Educational videos they like are Magic School Bus, Bill Nye, Ancient Civilatilns, Where In the World is Carmen SanDiego, and movies similar to that. They both atten PS school and don't spend much time on history or science. I will probably get SOTW to listen to in the car. They also like VeggieTale and Adventures in Odyssey stories. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
three4me Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 My kids love the Henry Huggins audiobooks. But they're definitely not science or history! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggieMama Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Literature recommendations are great too! They don't get to read a lot of authentic lit at school. B:-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Audiobooks my kids liked at around those ages: James Herriot's Treasury for Children Beatrix Potter Betsy-Tacy Little House books Charlotte's Web The Trumpet of the Swan - Also E.B. White. He reads his own books. Fabulous! The Jesus Storybook Bible Winnie-the-Pooh Jim Wiess cds of folktales, mythology etc. Check out Greathall Productions Classical Kids series The Chronicles of Narnia The Cricket in Times Square We also like poetry collections on CD. Not great literature, but my kids also enjoyed these audiobooks: Freddie Goes to Florida Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle The Mouse and the Motorcycle Hank the Cowdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Can you recommend a specific title for poems? Poetry Speaks to Children, though the recording quality varies because many of them are old. Andrew Pudewa's collection. IEW Linguistic Development Through Poetry Memorization Naxos Favourite Poems for Children, Classic Poems for Boys, Classic Poems for Girls Jack Prelutsky for nonsense and silly poems - our library has many audios I wish someone would make recordings of Caroline Kennedy's poem books, we like those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homeschoolmom3 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 A few others that were not mentioned: Five Children and It Five Little Peppers and How They Grew The Tales of the Odyssey (Mary Pope Osborne) Matilda The Penderwicks series Little House series Liberty Kids series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawyer&Mom Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 We are listening to A Little Princess narrated by Johanna Ward. It's great, and only $3.95 on Audible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knitgrl Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I had never heard of it before listening to a Pam Barnhill's podcast, but By the Great Hornspoon is a really fun book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
