Yesterday I learned that a few book selections were to difficult for the age of my children. Today I've learned I don't know how to pronounce some of the names in these stories!
Never fear, Librivox is here! Thank goodness!
We read 50 Famous Stories today and Our Island Story today and boy did I ever stumble over some of the language. So I went on the hunt and found these recorded stories. 50 Famous Stories & Our Island Story
As I began to dig around Librivox I also found Thornton Burgess' book Burgess Animal Stories.
Using this will be a nice break for me and for the kids.
