This is such a generous offer. Good stories for kids, and literary classics for all ages as well. No membership or log-in required. https://stories.audible.com/start-listen
Stories entertain. They teach. They keep young minds engaged. And they bring us together.
Thats why, for as long as schools are closed, we will be open. Keeping to our founding belief that the spoken word can be inspiring and transporting in deeply intimate ways, we have created Stories.Audible.coma place where anyone, in any country, can enjoy unlimited streaming of hundreds of titles for kids and families for free.
The stories were hand-picked by our Audible editors and offer a mix of education, entertainment, and general-interest titles, from the classic to the contemporary, with a focus on stories that are suitable for children. The collection includes favorites like Winnie the Pooh, Alices Adventures in Wonderland, Aladdin, Jane Eyre and The Call of the Wild.
Listeners can access the site from their computers, tablets and smartphones and enjoy selections in six languages English, Spanish, French, Italian, German and Japanese. Theres no log in and no need to be an Audible member. Just visit Stories.Audible.com and start listening!
We hope that Audible Stories will offer childrenand everyonesome respite during these unsettling times.
With our heartfelt wishes for good health for all.
