Fun & Silly Audio Books for Kids

by Amy on July 27, 2011

Audio books are a staple in our house (and car) and we were due for a fun new summer playlist.

I have complied a Fun and Silly Audio Book Playlist, perfect for summer road trips or afternoon quiet-time. Each selection is available for purchase at Audible Kids, for $3.00 or less per book. Many of the kids’ audio books are only 99¢!

Listen to a bestseller for $7.49 at audible.com!

Charlie the Ranch Dog by Ree Drummond

Skippyjon Jones in the Dog-House by Judy Schachner

Curious George Rides a Bike by H.A. Rey

Squids Will Be Squids by Jon Scieszka

A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon

When I Grow Up by Al Yankovic

How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night? by Jane Yolen

The Day Jimmy’s Boa Ate the Wash by Trina Hakes Noble

I’m Not Going to Get Up Today by Dr. Seuss

Caps for Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina

Olivia Forms a Band by Ian Falconer

It’s really fun to gather the pictures books from around your house or library and place together in a basket. My girls love to follow along as they listen!

Steph at Modern Parents Messy Kids posted about Quiet Time with Audio Books this week – a great idea for kiddos transitioning out of nap time!

{One note about the audio books from Audible — you can only burn one CD, but you can put the books on your iPods, listen on your computer, etc.}

Happy Listening!

It’s great when you can find good audio books for your kids! Sometimes, it’s hard to find the time yourself to read for them whenever they want you to, so this can be a good option if you need a “backup”!

My granddaughter is 5 and has CP so listening to books is something she can do and loves. Thank you for the list. I have passed it on to my daughter. Maggie thanks you too!

My granddaughter Maggie is five and has CP and listening to books on tape is something that she loves to do. Thank you for the list. I have passed it along to my daughter. Oh yes, Maggie thanks you too.
