Much younger than that and they’ll probably mostly be frustrated by the voice commands. The good news is they ship free and have free returns, so if you try it out and decide it’s not for you, it’s simple to return it. They also have the Echo Dot Kids which is $24.99 (normally $59.99) and includes a year of the Amazon Kids subscription. Usually the Echo Dot is $49.99 but during Prime Week, they’re on sale for $19.99 so this is the best time to grab one if you’re in the market (I bought ours at this same price a few years ago).

It’s been a great fit for our family, but if it’s not for you, there are lots of great other options to listen to audiobooks like the Yoto Player or an old-school CD player.

If you’re not familiar with the Echo Dot, it’s a smart speaker from Amazon that lets you listen to music, audiobooks, and ask questions.īecause it’s a smart speaker and internet enabled, some families feel uncomfortable with having an Echo Dot or other Alexa Echo device in their home or having their kids use it.

I’ve written a LOT of posts about audiobooks over the years, but somehow I’ve never written a post about how to listen to audiobooks on an Echo Dot.
