I grew up in a family who loved books on tape; they were our constant companions on long car rides. I’m convinced listening to my favorite stories on audio helped me fall in love with reading. There’s something to be said for a narrator that gets the characters’ voices and accents just right. Toddler audiobooks also provide us as caregivers with the rare opportunity to sit and listen to a story with our toddlers rather than always being the one reading them. Plus, there are countless benefits to listening to audiobooks, including for kids. This Rioter gives a thoughtful analysis on the benefits of audiobooks for the heart and mind if you’d like to explore that more.
