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.

I remember reading while in grade school and wanted something quick to listen to while working. Great story that paints the whole picture but the only that took me out of it sometimes was the music/tones. I know it was during tense parts but felt "outdated." Like this was recorded back in the 80s....personally could've done without it but performance was still great. Recommend and enjoy.

Great story to revisit
