I thought I’d give my readers a “head up” on this website.
If your family has a parent who is deployed in the military, or will soon be deploying, you might want to check out this website, http://www.astorybeforebed.com/military. They are giving away 100,000 FREE recordings for military families.
The company, A Story Before Bed, allows parents, grandparents and others to personally record themselves reading a storybook which can be listened to and enjoyed by their children or grandchildren.
I have not used their services, nor do I know anything about them. I only know what I can read on their site. I do know that their program can be used on iPhones and iPads too.
We are not a military family. I can only imagine how hard it must be on children to be separated from their parents. I’m sure a child would find great comfort in hearing their Mom or Dad telling them a bedtime story that they can listen to every night before going to be. It won’t replace their parent actually being there, but I’m sure it will provide some kind of comfort to them.
A Story Before Bed is also available for non-military families too. Only military families get to record for free.

*I was not asked to post this information, nor was I compensated in any way. I happened to learn about this program and I thought it would be nice to share with my readers.

I have an iPad an I have several storybooks for my daughter on it, she’s 4 years old. She loves them!!!! Actually several of the stories have other things that they could do. Like coloring, puzzles, etc. I think these interactive books can be a great thing for children to learn.
