Stacey in MA Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 We love to listen to books on tape in the car. We've been through all of the Little House series, all of the Chronicles of Narnia, all of the Anne of Green Gables (that our library had on tape), hmmm, what else? We love the series books b/c when we're done with one, it's nice to stay mentally in that frame of mind for the next one! An independent book would be good too. Any other series that is of this caliber that is for kids that you suggest? Thanks! You guys always have great suggestions! - Stacey in MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMindy Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 We absolutely loved listening to the Hank the Cowdog series. They are read by the author and he is great! Very funny. There is The Secret Garden and A Little Princess (some of my personal favorties). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in the Kootenays Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 My family loved Harroun and the Sea of Stories by Salmon Rushdie. The author reads it himself and his great voice and rich language make it really entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann@thebeach Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Not a series, but we love most of the CDs by Jim Weiss-esp Greek Myths and Mystery! Redwall was fun to listen to since my kids loved the PBS series but I think only the first book is on CD so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom26 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 We love Down Gilead Lane...so far they have 10 seasons so that can keep you busy for awhile. My kids can't wait for the newest one to come out...it is put out by cbh ministries. If you google it, you should be able to find it.

BakersDozen Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 We absolutely loved "Stop the Train!" (on CD, though, not tape) when we were studying Westward Expansion. I'd not done anything like that before and wish there were more good books on tape/CD like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriM Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 We love "The Cat Who" mysteries. They are fun for the whole family. The main character is divorced, and while I don't remember any minor language issues, there is always a murder described (but I call it murder-lite, along the lines of the old Agatha Christie). We also enjoyed the Father Brown mysteries on tape, but the language is VERY rich and advanced vocabulary might have you answering a lot of questions. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
