Are you dreading your next long car trip with the kids? Well try a book-on-tape!

Granted if your children’s ages vary greatly, tape selection will be a bit trickier but it is possible. There are some great books-on-tape that can be enjoyed by the whole family. You will even find yourselves sitting in the car at your destination waiting for the end of the chapter!

You will also find them great just to listen to with the kids when you’re driving to their sporting activities or just doing chores around town. Check out this list of wonderful stories.

Many of these are available for rent or purchase through your local audio books rental store. For a monthly/annual fee, they can also be rented or downloaded from two wonderful sites: www.simplyaudiobooks.com and www.audible.com.   Click on the book title for a rental site.
