Hello! We've been waiting for you! We're just about to leave on another exciting adventure and we want you to come along!

Oh the wonders that you'll discover here with us! You'll meet talking animals, conquer raging rivers, defeat giants, solve grand mysteries and laugh out loud at the very funny short stories for kids!

"How do we know this?"

Because we've had all of these adventures and more! So get ready to join us - we're kids just like you and we'll be your guides through these exciting and wonderful tales!

And the best part is - you don't have to love to read! You don't even have to know how to read!

"How can that be?"

Well, our family loves to read and we'll be reading short stories and audio books for children to you!

We've picked our favorite short stories for kids and created a safe place for you to listen online as we read them to you. And if you love to read like we do, you can also read free books online here.

Ask your mom or dad if they remember their favorite children's books, fairy tales or bedtime stories. I bet they will say, "Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes or Aesop's Fables, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer or Anne of Green Gables".

These classic books and poems for kids are still popular today because they're fun and wholesome (which means they don't have a lot of bad stuff in them). We love them and we know you will love them too!

"Guess what?"

While you're having grand adventures with these great classic short stories for kids, without even knowing it, you'll be learning things that will help you grow into a mighty young man or woman! Things like courage, loyalty, faith, compassion, responsibility and how to be a good friend.

"Guess what else?"

When you are defeating giants and discovering secret gardens and meeting talking animals - a natural love of reading will develop! You will begin to love to read on your own and then the whole world will open up to you with endless tales and adventures!

We're here for you and your family! If you have a favorite book or story you'd like us to add in video, audio or printable formats please let us know through the "Contact Us" button.
