Coraline, read by author Neil Gaiman, is excellent, and family friendly for older kids (it might be a little scary for very young children). Ditto for Garth Nix's Sabriel, read by Tim Curry. I really love all of the audiobooks for Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising Sequence--they're all read by Alex Jennings, except for The Gray King which is read by Richard Mitchley (a Welshman!). I also love the BBC radio dramas of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
And, not family friendly, but I love the audiobooks of Stephen King's Dark Tower series.
