SkinWalkers: 
Favorite picture books as audio books at great prices
I love children’s audio books. There’s something so pleasing about being read to, especially when the person narrating is a great reader. Sometimes, though, audio books are expensive–even downloadable audio books.
So I was excited to find some audio books of my favorite picture books at really low prices on Audible:
Where The Wild Things Are at Audible for $1.95.
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keatsfor $0.99.
There’s a Nightmare In My Closet by Mercer Mayer for $0.99.
Make Way For Ducklings by Robert McCloskey for $0.99.
Gerogie by Robert Bright for $0.99.
Curious George Rides a Bike by H. A. Ray for $1.95.
The Mysterious Tadpole by Steven Kellogg for $1.95
Clifford the Big Red Dog for $1.95
A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon for $1.95
Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss for $2.95
How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss for $2.95
Horton Hears a Who by Dr. Seuss for $2.95
Some I’ll have to put on my wish list, but some I’m getting for myself soon! Personally I think an audiobook download plus the actual book would make an awesome gift for a child–or a book lover. Or some audiobook downloads of the child’s favorite books.
Do you see any of your favorites in this list?
Do you like children’s audio books?

Oh thanks for these links! We have started listening to audio books in the car on the commute and it is really wonderful. These are some of our favorites. I’m so excited!

I make every child that walks in the door at my library take home A Bad Case of the Stripes. Love that book!

Amanda, that’s wonderful! It’s such a good book, with such an important message as part of the story. I love hearing that!
