My kids are 5 and 7 and like [Adventures in Odyssey](http://www.whitsend.org/), a CD-adventure story series. I own one Doctor Who Audio Drama I got from Humble Bundle and it got me thinking that they may enjoy these.

I know a ton of these have come out from Big Finish.

The one I have is called “Death’s Deal”.

Anyone know any that would be good for kids age 5 and 7? Nothing too intense and while they know I like Doctor Who, they know very little about it.

I don’t care which Doctor is in it as long as the story is good, kid-safe, and fun.

Which ones have you enjoyed?

It sounds like [“The Sarah Jane Adventures”](https://www.amazon.com/Sarah-Jane-Adventures-Time-Capsule/dp/B001LFBNJA/ref=sr_1_9?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1468005026&sr=1-9&keywords=Sarah+Jane+audiobooks) are right up your alley.

Actually, are any of them actually voice-acted by the Doctor Who cast?

_The Sarah Jane Adventures_ are narrated by Elisabeth Sladen herself.
