I wanted to share a site I found just a bit ago.

It is free, and welcomes homeschoolers specifically on the splash page. The page consists of Mrs. P, a kindly Irish-sounding lady reading books in what looks to be her living room.

The books seem to be mostly fairy tales and other children's books which are now in the public domain. The ones I've listened to so far were from the early years of the 20th century.

There is a read-along option for new readers, and books can be chosen based on subject or audience. Clicking on various objects in the room bring the things to life - the dog will play hangman, for example. There is a dictionary to define words, etc.

I can't wait to share this with the kids tomorrow (and y'all right now!).

Mrs P(^).

And yes, that's Kathy Kinney (Mimi Bobeck from The Drew Carey Show) as Mrs. P. She has a lovely reading voice.
