I've started using audiobooks for my inconsistent napper, and it's GREAT. (Thank you for the tip, BC!)

But some of the sets I've bought are only an hour long and I need 2 hours, because sometimes he falls asleep and sometimes not. And I really need them to keep him more calm.

So does anyone know if they can be queued? Are there any favorite sets that are 2 hours long? My Dr. Seuss set is that long, but I'm having a hard time finding others.

TIA

Okay, I think I might be able to make a playlist on Youtube. Free too (with ads tho).

Can you make them play all in a row? Wait...I think I remember that you can make playlists on ipods, right?

I have an old one that i got on ebay, but it died. I need to get a new one. It plays the one set of audio books I have on there, but I can't load anything new.

I am very intentional with the audio books at nap so they may better encourage rest.... all are chapter books above the level my kids would read with me in a book but you would be surprised what their mind can take in during a state of calm. Some of our favorites that I own:

Mr. Popper's Penguins
Peter Pan
The Peter Rabbit Collection
Mary Poppins
Charlotte's Web
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

* The ones I own I can hit the auto repeat button in my books section on my phone and it auto repeats but most of these are pretty long that I just go a rewind it a bit..... instead of starting it all over... something about the intro with a different voice and sometimes intro music wakes them.

Others I borrow from the library and these are some favorites:

Anything by Judy Blume especially Fudge Series (my boys love this series)

Judy Moody

James and the Giant Peach

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I am sure there are more, I just look at the library catalogue online and see what's available.

I play the same audio book consistently for 2 weeks or so....

Yes, you just make playlists. I would have 1 or 2 long stories and then map music play and then the stories again towards the end of nap for kids who wake up a little early
