Audiobooks from Greathall

You know how great audiobooks are for kids, especially reluctant readers. Now I want to tell you the absolute best audiobook stories that my kids, actually the whole family, enjoys both in the car and at home — Greathall.

My Favorite Audio Books for Kids from Jim Weiss

Jim Weiss’ storytelling is so engaging. He’s gifted, and so brilliant with voices. Throughout the narration, he uses a multitude of engaging voices for each character, including the narrators. His pacing is perfect. Honestly, listening to these is mesmerizing.

The Greathall website organizes the stories by age group. This is important to me and I agree with their breakdown of what’s appropriate for each age.

Our favorites? Well, everything we’ve listened to are favorites. Isn’t that crazy?! They’re that good. Here’s what we love so far:

But, there are so many more selections. I think you’ll find great options for your listening library. (And, no, I am not getting paid to say this!) Go to the Greathall website to see them all.
