Welcome to A Story For Bedtime |
|
Hello and welcome to A Story For Bedtime. This is a community sharing site for parents and children. You can download MP3 files of stories to play to the kids, perhaps burn them to CD or stick them on an MP3 player for the children. These are not professionally produced audio books, they are quite simply recordings of real people like you reading stories to real kids. Not only can you download stories, but you can also record your own stories and send them in to the site. We listen to them (to check quality and so on) and add a short introduction to the front then publish your recording to the site for others to listen to. We hope you like the site, we have nearly two hours of stories to enjoy already, but we need your help in filling it up with lots more. Do take a good look round the site and feel free to download as many stories as you want. If you register and log on (in the box to the top right) then you will be able to post in the discussion forums, comment on stories and also submit new stories, songs and drawings so that everyone can share them. Click on the buttons in the top left box to browse the stories, or go straight to the books list and get downloading, uploading and check back soon to see what new stories are being added If you want to know more about how to make recordings or burn CDs on your computer then check the Frequently Asked Questions section, or shout for help in the discussion forum. Have fun, Alan Bell Chief Story Teller |

Launch of the Kiddiecast! |
|
Today marked the launch of the Kiddiecast, a podcast channel of all our stories. 
The Kiddiecast button allows you to use a program like Apple iTunes or Juice Reciever to automatically download new stories whenever they are added to the site. You don't need an iPod to listen to a podcast, you can just use your computer, or any MP3 player, or of course write the MP3 files to CD to play anywhere. Have fun, Alan Bell Chief Story Teller |

Five great new books and a new publisher! |
|
We are delighted to announce a collection of new books for you to read and listen to, these are from Meadowside Childrens Books. There are two books about Farmer Ham, his cornfields and some naughty crows: and two books about the mess monsters which live under the bed and in the garden shed (explains a lot really)
and finally a book about Smelly Bill, a character that everyone with a dog will instantly recognise!
 We will start adding readings of these over the next few days, but remember, you can read them too! If you don't already have the books then you can click one of the links to buy it from Amazon or Blackwell, or look for it in your local library. We also want readings of any other books from either Meadowside Childrens Books, or Anderson Press, check the inside front cover to see who the publisher is. |
