A podcast of public-domain audio books for kids, read by Kara Shallenberg.
New chapters will appear on Mondays. We've finished The Road to Oz, A Little Princess, The Secret Garden, Heidi, Our Island Story, an anthology of poetry for children, a children's history of the Middle Ages, More William, This Country of Ours Part 1, Helen's Babies, and The Book of Art for Young People, and When Mother Lets Us Cook. Next we had The Adventures of Sally, by P. G. Wodehouse -- not actually a children's book, but it won't do the little ones any harm and should be fun for the tweens and teens. Now it's The Story of Mankind -- an excellent history book for kids, read as a duet with my friend Michelle Crandall. Enjoy! Send questions and comments to kara@nyip.net. All of my recorded books can be found at http://kayray.org/my-recordings/ Kara's Free Audiobooks
