I love all his books, but this is the most well-known and, in my opinion, the best. Fox and listened at least a dozen times in one year!ĭragons and Marshmallows: Zoey and Sassafras by Asia CitroĪn early chapter book series with magical animals, science, and mystery? My girls were INSTANT fans of this book series where Zoey and her cat sidekick Sassafras help a magical animal using science. I think Roald Dahl’s books are just MADE for listening and I could have added many of his titles.

Beverly Clearly is a master and her audiobooks are just a delight.

I’m fairly sure at this point that Bart and I could recite the entire book from memory since Star listened to this on repeat the year she turned four. The chapters are more episodic so that’s nice if you’re starting and stopping a lot. Sideways Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sacharīoth of my older girls have listened to these stories many many times on audio about Wayside School where everything is a little (okay, lot) weird. These mysteries are wildly popular and have been for decades, for good reason.I like that the mysteries aren’t too scary and I really love that they showcase siblings that like each other, get along, and work together to solve problems. The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warnerįor all of my children, The Boxcar Children books have been what really cemented their love of listening to audiobooks. It’s read by the author and it’s laugh-out-loud funny. He finds himself on a wild adventure through time and space. A father is abducted by aliens while picking up milk for his children’s cereal.

We listened to this as a family and it was so fun and quick. I hope you’ll find just the right listen for your child on this list! They’re perfect to listen to together as we do puzzles in the morning when the other kids are at school, in the car as a family when we have a short-ish drive or at bedtime. These are audiobooks my nearly-six year old LOVES listening to and comes back to again and again.

This list of audiobooks is the next step up with stories that run somewhere between an hour and three hours. The audiobooks included on that list are short stories or short story collections topping out at about 20 minutes per story.
