Best Audio Books for Toddlers + Preschoolers on Audible

If you’re looking for some good audio books for toddlers and preschoolers — or even older children — Audible has you covered!

While we enjoy reading books at our house, I understand what it’s like to get stuck reading the same story over…and over…and over.

Sometimes it’s nice to get a break while your toddler enjoys a good children’s story read by someone else. 😉

Thinking about signing up for a free trial, but you’re not sure if they have children’s stories?

They do! And I’m here today to share the most popular toddler audio books that are available on Audible so you can see for yourself.

 

 

But first, let’s talk audiobooks benefits…

According to the Audio Publishers Association, audio books help “build and enhance vital literacy skills such as fluency, vocabulary, language acquisition, pronunciation, phonemic awareness, and comprehension — skills that often boost reading scores.”

That’s not all, though. Here are some of the top audiobooks benefits for kids.

 

• improves pronunciation
• increases fluency
• builds critical listening skills
• helps with time management
• improves focus
• helps with attention span
• increases memory
• builds comprehension skills
• great for people with visual impairments
• help develop empathy
• boosts mental health

 

To sum it up, there are a lot of great reasons to provide your children with audio stories.

Popular Children’s Stories on Audible

In addition to many of the classics, such as Goldilocks and the Three Bears, there are quite a few newer stories available. Let me share with you some of the most popular children’s stories on Audible.

 

1. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See

This is one of the most treasured children’s books of all time. Did you know that it’s sold more than 7 million copies in print in various formats and languages??

Now, more than 40 years after its first printing, this classic is finally available as an audiobook.

It’s narrated by Academy Award winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow, and it’s sure to bring warmth and humor to children and parents alike.

 

2. Little Blue Truck

“Beep! Beep! Beep!”

A muddy country road is no match for Blue — that is, until he gets stuck while pushing a dump truck out of the muck!

Luckily, Blue has made a lot of farm animal friends along his route.

In this story, children will learn about the power of friendship and the rewards of helping others.

 

3. The Gruffalo

This is the story of a mouse who’s good enough to eat but smart enough to know it.

On his stroll through the deep, dark wood he comes upon a hungry fox, an owl, and then a snake.

To save himself, he invents the gruffalo, a creature with terrible claws, and terrible tusks in its terrible jaws, and knobbly knees and turned-out toes, and a poisonous wart at the end of its nose.

Is Mouse scared? No! After all, there’s no such thing as a gruffalo….

 

4. Sisters First

A celebration of the bond between sisters, this is a lyrical piece written by former first daughters and best-selling authors Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush.

It’s a story about a little girl whose wish is granted when a baby sister arrives. Over time, the sisters become inseparable.

It’s the perfect story for two sisters — or a little girl who is about to become a big sister!

5. Mighty, Mighty Construction Site

From the creators of Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site, all the favorite trucks are back on the construction site!

This time, they’re focusing on team building, friendship, and working together to make any big task seem small.

 

6. Stellaluna

Fruit bat Stellaluna and her mother are attacked by an owl while out searching for food.

Separated by her mother, Stellaluna is taken in by a family of birds and needs to try to fit in with her new family.

And then, one fateful night, she’s reunited with her bath family — and she learns a very important lesson about being different, yet the same.

 

7. Oi, Frog!

This is a rhyming story that’s jam packed with silly animals!

Listeners will find themselves in fits of laughter as cats sit on mats, hares sit on chairs, and mules sit on stools.

But Frog does NOT want to sit on a log!

 

8. Finding Winnie: The True Story of the World’s Most Famous Bear

A true story about the real bear named Winnie, who was a girl, listeners will learn about a remarkable friendship — and an even more remarkable journey.

She was rescued by a veterinarian who took the bear to war during World War I.

Winnie traveled from the fields of Canada to a London Zoo, where she made a new friend: a real boy named Christopher Robin.

 

9. Owl Moon

In this story, a young girl and her father search the woods for a Great Horned Owl.

We have a hard copy of this popular book, and just a couple days ago, my soon-to-be preschooler dubbed it her “favorite book”.

It’s a good one!
