Remember Peter and the Wolf? No, not the cartoon but the honest-to-goodness audio story with music by Prokofieff and everything? Somewhere along the line great stories that used to be found on records (and don’t ask be what an LP is because I’ll feel so old that I might have to smack you) for kids got lost amongst CDs and MP3 players full of playlists of The Wiggles - ugh.

But there’s an unsung (pardon the pun) hero out there called Kiddie Records. Their sole purpose is to preserve children’s stories from old LPs and make them available to you — for FREE — to download for your kidlets. That is so cool.

Just head on over to their website and you will find hundreds of classic children’s records from the 1940’s and beyond available for free — you can download them or choose to listen straight from the computer. Once a week for three years they offered a different record so you will find plenty to choose from.

Enjoy!
