Every library I’ve ever belonged to in the US (and, thanks to our many moves, I’ve belonged to a LOT of libraries) has had an Overdrive collection. Also, if you sign up for a 30-day trial, you can get two free audiobooks and even if you cancel your membership immediately after downloading your two free titles, they’ll stay in the app forever so you can listen at your leisure (ahem, summer road-tripping this summer).
Your monthly membership gives you the number of credits you choose (generally between 1 and 3) and each month you can use each credit to get an audiobook from their collection, which then you own forever. Nobody has a better audiobook collection than Audible and their app is very straight-forward to use.
LISTEN AND READ ALONG BOOKS HOW TO
The older girls also each have a CD player in their room – I showed them how to work the CD players when they were about three-years-old, so they can listen during quiet time. My girls are SO much happier in the car when we’re listening to something (right now, we’re working our way through the Henry series by Beverly Cleary). These are perfect for keeping in the car and listening while you run errands together or drive back and forth from gymnastics or dance or soccer. It turns out my sister Merrick, who also has young children who love audiobooks, has been getting a ton of the same questions, so together we came up with some of our best tips for introducing them to children, plus our favorite audiobooks for kids, both boys and girls.įirst, my favorite places to get audiobooks for kids.
How do you get them started listening? What apps or tools do you use? And what books are good on audio? One of the questions I get asked all the time is about audiobooks for kids.
