A boredom buster for your family trips!
This audiobook is a lifesaver for any parent armed with a car full of restless kids and running low on entertaining ammo. Each story clocks in at just 10 minutes, so you can dive into the mystical worlds of ancient Egypt, battle alongside Norse heroes, or chase immortality in the Middle East, all before the kids start asking, "Are we there yet?" It's perfect for sneaking in some quick culture on the way to soccer practice and ballet class. And let me tell you, nothing beats the fun of hearing your little ones gasp at the antics of Gilgamesh or giggle over the Norse gods' shenanigans. Super fun for adults too! This audiobook is a sanity preserver for parents and a boredom buster for kids, making every journey a mini-adventure.
