A recent visit to our local library enlightened me to the “newest” form of audiobooks for kids: Playaways!
Made specifically for libraries, these are self-contained audiobook players that can be checked out like paper books. Just add a AAA battery and plug in some earphones and you have a portable audiobook for taking out and about!
Not only great for car rides and errands, these are also terrific for taking to bed. The kids have enjoyed drifting off to sleep with narrative stories literally within reach.
Check to see if your local library carries Playaway titles. (They make Playaway titles for adults, too, of course…and there is also Playaway View….with screens!)
