My kids have been all about audiobooks lately and I'm HERE FOR IT. I love that it gets them quiet and absorbed in something for a little while that isn't technically "screentime." To me, listening to a book counts as reading as much as sitting down and reading words on a page and I think it's important for them to learn that there's more than one way to take in information. I also love that they're able to enjoy something that's above their reading level without me present.

I grew up in a house where reading was encouraged, and I wanted to carry that tradition onto my kid. He was drawn to the Magic Tree House series, and I loved these books, too. We read all of the books in the series, but I believe this book is the first. As we read about Jack and Annie's adventures in this book (They are the main characters.), we learned a good deal about dinosaurs and the prehistoric past. It's a great way to understand history.
