Audiobooks – Fun Stuff to Do Anywhere
We've been listening to audiobooks with our kids since the
oldest was a toddler. Then we listened to things like "The Wizard of
Oz" by L. Frank Baum and "Catwings" by Ursula K. LeGuin. We
spend more time driving around in the car than I care to think about, and
listening to audiobooks makes all that time feel somewhat more productive.
Not every audiobook we've tried has been a winner. Sometimes
the stories just don't capture the kids, sometimes the narrator is difficult to
understand, or the kids just have other things on their minds and are
daydreaming out the window instead of listening. That's why we now take breaks
between books, and don't listen every single time we get in the car. Sometimes
we need music, or just some quiet time for our own thoughts, but before long,
we are all ready again for a new story.
Since we are all at the same place in the story, it is easy
for us to talk about it together too.
Long road trips can be a great time to try out a family audiobook.
Because they can be pricey, we usually borrow cds from the library.
