Playaways are, dare I say, God’s gift to parents.

Seriously.

Last week, we found Playaways at the library and I didn’t hear a peep out of my kids for two hours! I actually read my own book. (And fell asleep on the couch.) Luxurious.

But, I am not a slacker mama.  Really!  Because Playaways are audio books in a cute little box, accessible with headphones.  They’re like an iPod with one book on it.  Here’s a picture.

Kid-sized headphones with volume control are a must for playaways.  You can get them on Amazon if you’re an internet shopper like me.  Here’s my daughter listening to Island of the Blue Dolphins.

Here’s me doing a happy dance.

Okay, it’s not me but it does express my love!  Any of you already fans?

Go here to win one of two Playaways of Hoot by Carl Hiaasen.
