Animal Tales: The Kids' Story Podcast
Josephine Chadwick
300 episodes
Over 500 original short stories for kids and every one is AI free! Welcome to Animal Tales, where YOU get to suggest what animals appear in each story. All our short stories are written by Alice or Simon especially for the Animal Tales podcast, and read by me, Josephine. From jungle critters to farm animals, from dinosaurs to dodos, and from unicorns to extraordinary mythical beasts, you can find them all at Animal Tales. With three new stories added every week, they're perfect for car journeys or bedtime – you can even suggest an animal you'd like to hear a story about! Our stories are calm but fun, where kindness and thoughtfulness are often the backbone to each tale. And they're educational too, with informative animal facts after the story about the creatures featured. We've written stories especially for childen across the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa, Denmark, Netherlands, France, Singapore, and many more – even the Cook Islands in the middle of the Pacific ocean! We love that our stories are enjoyed by so many children and their families every week, all across the globe.
