Original Children's Books
Stories for kids — a little gift from the publisher, Merlin Classics. Every picture book here is a free, narrated read-along: press play and let the story read itself, mute the voice to read along together, or download the video to keep — perfect for a long car ride, a flight, or anywhere the Wi-Fi runs out. Cozy enough for bedtime, gentle enough to read aloud to a small child, and always free, with no sign-up required.
We keep them free to put good stories within every family's reach — and to help support hunger relief. More titles are on the way; sign up below and we'll tell you the moment the next one lands.
Uh-Oh… My Backpack Ate It When Milo's backpack turns out to have a secret appetite for homework, one small fib grows into a tangle only the truth can undo. With a little help from his friend Junie, he finds the courage to come clean. A funny, reassuring story about honesty and owning your mistakes.
The Adventures of Charley & Lucy: A Winter Surprise One winter night on Sunset Hill, farm dogs Charley and Lucy hear a strange sound in the snow and race off to investigate, sure it's a monster. A cozy tale about imagining big, being brave, and being wonderfully wrong.
The Adventures of Mustafa: The Littlest Camel While the caravan loads, the littlest camel slips into the busy souk alone, makes a cast of kind new friends, and then loses his way. A warm story about patience, curiosity, and finding your way home.
