<![CDATA[A new site that I stumbled across, Oxford Owl has a nice variety of books for kids ages 3 – 11 that the computer reads to them. It would appear that you'll need a laptop and flash player to see the books. If you choose the ones marked with an 'e' they are free books.

I really like some of the features of the site – it offers activity ideas that go with the books and you can turn pages to see the illustrations with most books. Also, the voice of the narrators seemed very nice. With some books in the youngest (ages 3 – 5) and oldest (ages 9 – 11) age groups, there aren't any words that show up on the screen, you only hear the story. Nevertheless, a good site if you're looking for access to stories (both fiction and nonfiction) for a variety of ages.
