15 of the greatest audio books for families

May 29, 2017 by lorrin sell Leave a Comment

There has been a lot of buzz about audiobooks for road trips with kids!  I am really looking forward to trying this out on our road trip this year.

The kids are usually either fighting, involved in some sort of scream, or begging for snacks when we are on a road trip.  I am not complaining because for the most part, they are pretty well-behaved in the car (most of the time.. of course this wasn’t always the case).

Anyhow, the idea of using audio books on our road trip is one I can get into- especially since #4 will most likely sleep more than the others so I should have no problem finding audiobooks for our road trip with kids!

Many of these books can be purchased on CD, but in our house CDs just don’t last.  Once we clued into streaming we pretty much ditched DVDs, and CDs.  If you’re like us, you may want to check out Audible (the bonus is you get 2 free audio books when you sign up for the free 30 day trial, and you can cancel once the trial is over if you’re not planning on using it.)

I can’t wait to go through these with the kids, and let them pick out a few audiobooks for our road trips.  I’m so excited my SIL recommended trying this!
