AUDIO STORIES FOR CHILDREN

read by Chuck Brown
(more about him at ChuckBrown.com)

Lots of words have popped up lately to describe things you can listen to from the internet: MP3s, podcasts, audiobooks, etc. What's important about what's offered here is that they are in the MP3 format, and FREE. Your computer has software built-in to allow you to listen to MP3s. Most of you can just click a button below labeled "Read to Me" and everything will work just fine. If you DO run into a problem, click on the button marked Download to save the file to your hard drive, where you can listen on your computer, burn it to a CD, or listen on your iPod or other MP3 player.

For now, these are posted in order from the shortest story to the longest. So, you'll have to watch carefully for new stories which may slip in unnoticed. ;-)

If you'd prefer to download it to put on your computer or MP3 player, right-click on the button that says "Download It" and "Save Target as". Mac users, click and hold, then "Download Link to Disk" .

Oh, by the way...if you write stories for children, please take a moment and visit this page.
