FREE Audio Book Library for Children

I just stumbled on this site while trying to find an audio adaptation of Jungle Book (in case it rains on my upcoming Cub Scout weekend).

Anyway, the site is called;

Kiddie Records Weekly
http://www.kiddierecords.com/

And it has literally hundreds of kiddie records (and cover scans) from the "Golden Age" of children's records. I'm presuming that this means the fifties?

Anyway, it has gems like

  • Boris Karloff in Peter Pan
  • Jerry Lewis' The noisy eater
  • Walt Disney's adaptation of Rob Roy
  • Francis the Talking Mule
  • Lost Horizon
  • Grimms Fairy Tales
  • My Favourite Martian
  • Hansel and Gretel

and some of those politically incorrect (and therefore no longer obtainable) stories including;

  • Little Black Sambo
  • Uncle Remus
  • George Washington Rabbit

** Note: Apologies to anyone who may be offended by some of these titles. These stories may be offensive but they're part of the culture of the time and (arguably) key to understanding the sort of repression that our ancestors perpetrated. It's my belief, perhaps wrongly, that it's better to come clean and accept history than pretend that this stuff never happened.

We are THE ONLY website that insures you gain access to time-sensitive offers on a daily basis, including price mistakes, limited-time offers, small-batch coupons for free products and more! It’s no secret that companies are always looking to acquire customers and the best way to do this is by giving away something for FREE.

How can this stuff be free?

Companies give away free samples of their products and services all the time because it’s a very effective way to get people to try them. Especially right now, with the global economy down companies are giving away more free stuff than ever before. The problem is they don’t have the budgets to advertise them effectively. That’s where we come in! We scour the Internet and various sources to provide the best of the best free offers.
