Book Listening
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Thursday, January 27, 2011 10:56 PM
Next month my husband is taking his first-ever solo road trip with our daughter.
Camilla gets carsick, so travelling with her is complicated. She can’t read or watch videos or do anything but sit in her car seat and stare out the window. She’s pretty good at singing/talking to herself, but she still needs amusing about 30% of the time, a task that usually falls to the parent in the passenger seat.
Except when Bryan and Camilla make their five-hour drive in a few weeks, there will be no parent in the passenger seat. I’m confident they’ll have good conversations to pass the time, but he won’t be able to pay her as much attention as a non-driving person would.
So I had a brilliant idea (well, okay, several friends have suggested this in the past): audio books! Maybe if they have a story to listen to together, it’ll help pass the time.
But I have no idea what audio books would be a good pick for a four-year-old. And I’d like to find something that my husband, hopefully, won’t find crashingly boring.
Help! What audio books has your family enjoyed? Especially your pre-school-aged children? It looks like our library has a good collection, so I’d like to get several different ones for Bryan and Camilla to try on their trip. Please give me suggestions!
