My kiddos struggle with dyslexia, so audiobooks are a big thing around here! Some favorites are Ralph Moody’s series (beginning with Father and I were Ranchers), the Narnia series, the Little House in the Prairie series, and the Redwall series.
I recently listened to The Labors of Hercules Beal on a recommendation from the RAR Podcast and loved the audio version!!! Really great narrator and story! It's a great middle-grade novel.
Thanks for these recommendations! My boys love horse stories, so I will check out King of the Wind. We are currently on a Boxcar Children kick; I've found many of the series on audio through Libby and Hoopla.

We like all the Laura Ingalls Wilder audiobooks, and Winnie the Pooh audiobooks were favorites when my kids were younger. We just listened to 5 Children and It by E.Nesbit and loved it!! There's something about hearing those classic read aloud! Thanks for all the other suggestions!
We’ve not yet done A. A. Milne on audio— great idea! Maybe I’ll have my younger two listen to those stories while I’m working with my older kids this coming school year.
We stumbled on War Horse audiobook in our local library and enjoyed that. Haven’t seen the movie yet. I did recently order a ton of Jim Weiss- narrated books from Well-Trained Mind. We had started with Three Musketeers. It’s funny how the sound of someone’s voice can make you nostalgic-which road trip was that? Other notable mentions: Secret Garden from Libravox and Around the World Stories (30 mins each)-got this a looong time ago and it was worth it!
These are marvelous recommendations. My grandmother used to collect Caldecott and Newbery award winners and I recognize many of the titles. I read many of them to my now-grown children but we didn’t have audiobooks then.

Those are some great ones!

Boxcar children are classic! I’d love to hear if you end up loving King of the Wind!
What a great list! Great books make for a great summer. Cheers
We used to listen to Winnie the Pooh (Narrated by Alan Bennett) on interstate trips. Even the older kids (teens) enjoyed it.
The Wolves of Willoughby Chase & The Scarlet Pimpernel were favourites but I can't remember the narrators.
My sons liked audiobooks of books by G.A. Henty when they were about 10/12 yrs especially In Freedom's Cause.
Love all of these ideas. Thank you!
I recommend ghost in the wires by Kevin Mitnick.
Thanks for the recommendation, Phil; it looks like a fascinating read!

I have heard wonderful things about Jim Weiss-narrated books. Thank you for all these great suggestions!
He also did The Story of the World history curriculum audio version. We stayed with the print volumes because we’re not in our car a lot anymore.
Have you tried Narnia Chronicles Radio Theatre? Excellently done. Also the Christmas short stories!
The one by Focus on the Family? Yes! We love it. So good.

What a wonderful thing to collect: the best books!
