7 Amazing Audiobooks for Dutch Expat Children

Are you looking for fun audiobooks that all kids will enjoy? Read on to find out more. I, just like my children, am absolutely crazy about audiobooks. We use them during long car rides or during non-screen time (yes, I really try to stick to a maximum of 1 hour a day between 5-6 PM), but I can see that they are very tired.

Of course, we also often read books together or play. But audiobooks are such a wonderful alternative. They can retreat to the couch or a blanket with their favorite stuffed animal and get completely absorbed in the story.

Here are my top 7 fun audiobooks that you can play on Spotify: enjoy!
