"Tell me a story!" How many times do we hear this beguiling request from the lips of our children, when they see reading as something only big kids and grown-ups can do? While we definitely advocate that parents read to their little ones as much as possible, sometimes another "beautiful voice" can add some special magic to their day. Engagingly, our PRE-READER AUDIOBOOKS overflow with whimsy, sparkle, and creativity. Did we also mention that they're wholesome too?

Kalliope's Review |
"Everyone loves Raggedy Ann! We all know the charming doll by sight, with her bright red hair, button-like eyes, and sweet smile. Her adventures are perfect for little ones, who often believe that their toys are alive and treat them accordingly. Also delightful for those who are still children at heart, Raggedy Ann symbolizes all that is age-less and remarkable, while well into her nineties! You go, girl!" ~ Kalliope |

Read First Paragraph |
"Marcella liked to play up in the attic at Grandma's quaint old house, 'way out in the country, for there were so many old forgotten things to find up there. One day when Marcella was up in the attic and had played with the old spinning wheel until she had grown tired of it, she curled up on an old horse-hair sofa to rest. 'I wonder what is in that barrel, 'way back in the corner?' she thought, as she jumped from the sofa and climbed over two dusty trunks to the barrel standing back under the eaves." |

“I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.”
