More Audio Books Dowloaded

A month ago I posted (A Nice Problem to Have) that I had downloaded a bunch of audio books onto my kids' ipods.  Well, for the past ten days already, the kids have been bugging me to download more audiobooks because they'd finished the pile that I'd given them at the end of January...in fact, Lizzie had listened over and over again to two of her favourites from that list.  I was delighted...but didn't have time until this morning to choose more books, download them and get them loaded onto the kids' ipods!

In order to keep up with Matthew's listening, I downloaded onto his iPod Touch the audible.com app, and granted him full access to my audible account.  Because I don't listen to audio books myself (I still prefer actual books, or my kindle), everything I download onto my audible library is appropriate listening material for Matthew...and this way, he can listen to anything in my audible library (100+ audio books).  Right now he's listening to the first of the Redwall books, by Brian Jacques - which is a little sad for me because I really wanted to read this one out loud to him (because I really want to read it!).  Next up he wants to listen to the Lord of the Rings series, but I may jealously hang on to that one and read it to all of the kids myself! :)

I got a number of emails from readers after my last post about audio books from people who were glad that I'd posted the kids' book lists, so I thought I'd do the same this time!

For Seth and Lizzie, this is what I just downloaded this morning:

Seth (about 38 hours of listening time):

* Encyclopedia Brown Mysteries, Volume 1, by Donald J. Sobol
* Moon over Manifest, by Clare Vanderpool
* Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, by Kate Douglas Wiggin
* The Trumpet of the Swan, by E.B. White

Lizzie (about 50 hours of listening time!):
* Because of Winn-Dixie, by Kate DiCamillo
* Black Beauty, by Anna Sewell
* Brown Girl Dreaming, by Jacqueline Woodson
* Call of the Wild, by Jack London
* Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, by Kate Douglas Wiggin
* The Penderwicks, by Jeanne Birdsall

  1. I use Overdrive to get audio books from our public library for free, and my kids can access what I check out from their devices. We can also use Navy General Library on Overdrive because my husband is in the Navy. I love this app. Love Audible too. When you buy a Kindle book it often gives you a discount on buying Audible narration.
