These Are The Most Popular Audio Books on Amazon To Listen To With Your Little One
by Collier Sutter
Books in audio format are booming in popularity today and great to have on-hand for families. For starters, your little one can lap up an audiobook—picking right up from last night’s plot—all while they throw on their pajamas and brush their teeth. Yep, that means no time for bedtime tantrums. You can also hit play on an audiobook during long car rides to get your kid’s eyes off their screens and especially if they get car sick reading while in motion. Though you’ll probably still want your little one to experience holding (and smelling) a fresh library book at some points, there’s a time and place for audiobooks when reading isn’t the move. To get you and your mini-me on the bandwagon, we’ve rounded up a list of the best selling audiobooks for kids right now on Amazon. Plus, you can sign up for Amazon’s Audible Free Trial and test out two audiobooks for yourself.
