Featured Article: 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. 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.

Relatable Stories • Heartwarming Adventures • Excellent Narration • Engaging Storylines • Insightful Child Perspective

Ramona Quimby debuted in the Henry Huggins series as the younger sister of his friend Beezus. she was depicted as a mischievous brat who was actually just a young kid who got into a lot of trouble. So she became the star of a spin-off.

The first book in this collection is different from the rest as it focuses on Beezus and the stress of having Ramona as a little sister and how it's okay to have feelings about it that feel wrong sometimes.

The second book sees Ramona become the focus as she tries to learn how to handle kindergarten through several whimsical misadventures. We begin to appreciate Ramona as a flesh and blood child, setting up her development through the rest of the series.

As the series continues through six more books, Ramona grows, taking her through third grade. Her family expands the house, she deals with troublesome kids at school and makes new friends, her parents have problems with employment and eventually welcome a new baby to the family.

What makes these stories great is how Beverly Cleary writes them. She speaks from Ramona's train of thought, giving us her perspective without using a first person voice. She captures what kids worry about and how they think.

Stockard Channing gives a great performance of the stories. I used to listen to many of these as a child on audio cassette from the library and much of my memories of them are linked to her reading. She doesn't make Ramona sound cute, she sounds like a kid (admittedly, an adult performing as one).

This is great for kids and adults who still appreciate literature for kids. (And a bargain to get with an Audible credit!)

Beverly Cleary books are so wonderful for young kids. My kids adored the characters and often used discussions about these books to bring up frustrations about their own lives. This is a great deal to get so many of her books for only 1 credit. Our only complaint was that everyone was a bit disappointed in the narration after listening to the Henry Huggins series. Neil Patrick Harris did such a wonderful job of bringing these characters to life, whereas Stockard Channing made Ramona, and especially Beezus, sound really whiney. However, after the first book, we all got used to the change and continued to enjoy the whole series.

Lovely books
