Audiobooks
Even though I'm old and I'm a pretty good reader, I love to listen to books. I don't care if a real person is reading to me or if it is a book on a CD player. I ALWAYS listen to books when I am in my car. This summer I've noticed that tons of kids are taking audiobooks out of the library. Kids are really enjoying playaways (those books that look like they are on an ipod). Books on tape are great for listening to on long car rides--it keeps you from getting bored. I'm going to New York next weekend. Does anyone have any good recommendations for what I can listen to on my ride there?

Anna, of course, would tell you to listen to Harry Potter. They're great as long as you have 15-20 hours to kill.
ReplyDeleteWe've also enjoyed Charles Kuralt reading Winnie the Pooh and Glynis Johns reading the Frances books.

I think the Harry Potter audios are wonderful! Jim Dale is the master. I also just heard that there is a new full-cast recording of Winnie the Pooh with Judi Dench as Kanga. Cannot remember the rest of the cast.
