Audio Stories Recommended by Age

I’ve been talking about my favorite audio stories for years, but I always get asked which ones for which ages?

My kids are 6, 4, 2, and 21 weeks in utero and we have been Jim Weiss fans for about 3-4 years. We use them for quiet time for the oldest during the two smaller ones’ naps. We use them for car rides (long ones, too). We listen to them at breakfast to break up the fighting. We use them to augment our faux homeschoolering. I didn’t include the history ones that we love because I’ll do that in a different faux- homeschooling post this fall.

We one a few dozen so this is not all of them, but a good place to start. Your library should be able to get them for you but amazon links here (disclaimer that the blog gets $.02 for any purchases you make through me) make for click click easily.

Without further ado:

    Thank you for this! At your recommendation, we got the Animal Tales one for my daughter a few months ago, and she loves it! (Frankly, my husband and I do, too, and we often imitate the voices. 😉 I will definitely keep these in mind for future gifts for her. 🙂 God bless!

    Oh yes! We get these and some others from the library (we’re lucky they have such a good selection!), and my kids ADORE listening to them in the car. And they’re not obnoxious to listen to… which is really, reallllly good.
