Featured Article: The top 100 kids books of all time


Listening to a story is the first way that we’re introduced to books as kids. And while our parents and grandparents (and babysitters and siblings!) are no doubt wonderful narrators who left indelible marks on our bookish hearts, the performances featured on this list elevate these stories to new heights. Representing listens for kids ages 0-12, and featuring animals, magical creatures, awkward middle schoolers, and more, our kids essentials will help you rediscover the magic of childhood.

Kids' favorite

This is the one book set my boys (7, 5 ,and 3) will always agree on. The narrators do an excellent job and the stories are some of my kids' favorite Seuss books.

Great rendition with amazing cast!

I really enjoyed the celebrity voice cast here. The background music was a little unnecessary but it was subtle enough to not be too distracting

Do not like music along reading

Sorry, Just don't like music in audiobook, but everything else was great. Frasier was especially good, also really liked the turtle story with John lithglow. Og course the writing was amazing.

Awesome book

I love this audiobook and it’s stories, but the fact that it doesn’t have the full version of Green eggs and ham is saddening and it doesn’t have my favorite dr Seuss book, fox in socks

Great for a read-along

Little ones won't know the narrators, but will be caught up in the world of Dr. Seuss. Get the physical copies to encourage them to learn to read along.

A Classic Favorite..Even Better

If you could sum up The Cat in the Hat and Other Dr. Seuss Favorites in three words, what would they be?

I didn't think Dr. Suess could be made better, this audio did just that!

Who was your favorite character and why?

This was a compilation of favorite stories, so there was something for everyone. Each story was read by a different celebrity. Dustin Hoffman reads Horton Hears a Who, etc.

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

I can't choose, I really can't. Although, How the Grinch Stole XMas is my favorite story, of all time!!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, dole it out slowly. Listen to a couple of stories at a time, and enjoy.

Any additional comments?

Nope.
