Due to the prevailing COVID-19 lockdown, Work From Home for adults and Stay at Home for kids has become inevitable.

In these trying times, it’s important to keep kids engaged. Otherwise, they would try to keep involving adults in most of their activities.

Why not enable them to learn the fine art of reading and appreciating fine literature? That will enable them to communicate better, and kindle their fantasies to expand their imaginations.

Amazon Audible has launched the Audible Stories that enables kids, teens (and even adults) to listen to as many audiobooks from the available selection – in the kids, young adult & literary fiction genres.

According to Amazon, you can listen to the audiobooks by streaming them directly from your browser – preferably Google Chrome. There is no need to create an account, submit any email/credit card details, etc.

Free audiobooks are available in the following languages – English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese, and in the following categories –  Littlest Listeners, Tween, and Literary Classics.
