The top 100 kids books of all time

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. It was hard to narrow down our collection to 100—some of your childhood favorites might be missing (some of ours certainly are!). But we stayed focused on what makes each title special in audio, which at times meant fun sound effects, impressive multicast productions, or a single narrator who perfectly embodies the heart of the story. 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.
