mellifera33 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 We are taking a trip soon, and I am looking for new audio books for my kiddos. They are 5, 7, and 10. Recent favorites include the Chasing Vermeer trilogy, The Matchstick Castle, The Carpet People, The Wind in the Willows, and Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass. Recent duds include The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew...well, I guess that was the only one they didn't like. If your kids liked the above stories, what are some others that they liked? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovinmyboys Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 My kids love the Penderwicks series. We are currently listening to Harry Potter. Jim Dale is my favorite narrator. Others they listen to over and over-Ramona series, Fudge series, Clementine series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alicia64 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 When they were five, my boys loved listening to the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004FGMDNW/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 Also, the book Wonder would be great on audio. You have a great list here!
