Free Classic Audio Books for Children
Here is a free children's audio book site of classic books, fairy tales, and poems: Online Audio Stories. What a great service. You can either play the books directly from this web site. Or you can download the books to put on a CD or an MP3 player. These books are ideal for car trips or for listening to right before bed.
Here are some (of many) stories and poems they offer:
- Rumpelstiltskin
- Jack and the Beanstalk
- The Pied Piper of Hamelin
- Pandora's Box
- Jabberwocky
- King Midas
- Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
- Rapunzel
- Little Red Riding Hood
- Hansel and Gretel
The stories and poems on this site bring back so many fond memories - and surprisingly a lot of kids these days don't know them. These stories entertained me, they captivated me, and some of them terrified me. When I was little, we use to have a real forest next to our apartment complex. I would never, ever go too far into the woods - because I was utterly terrified the witch from Hansel and Gretel would eat me.
