Hey there fans of A Story Before Bed (and I count myself among you :)…

Wow wow wow it is hot. Seriously hot. Taking the kids out last night for frozen yogurt only provided temporary relief. Seattle is very muggy. They say the weekend will bring relief. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

But heat does not stop us here at A Story Before Bed from bringing you new books… and we know you love the free variety, so let’s dive in. (And if you like what you see below… please forward this mail to friends and family.)

You’re all likely familiar with Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. He also wrote perhaps one of the greatest English language nonsense poems of all time in Jabberwocky. Illustrated like a cross between Where the Wild Things Are and The Lord of the Rings, this rendition of the poem is distinctive and different. And the best part is it’s fun to read to kids of any age cause nobody has to know what any of it really means. OK… that’s perhaps the second best part. The best part of this is that for a limited time, Jabberwocky is completely free for you to record. Enjoy!

And if Jabberwocky didn’t sate your appetite for reading to your kids and grandkids, check out these other titles from our library. Our publishers will thank you for recording them (as will we).

As I’ve promised, we aren’t resting with our current collection of books. We are working with children’s book creators everywhere to give you new children’s books that will delight your family. And to be honest, we love finding them and helping them come into being. In the next couple of weeks we’ll be adding more books to our collection including this brand new title that’s exclusive to A Story Before Bed. It’s an updated version of Snow White called Snow White in the City. Here’s the cover:

Isn’t she gorgeous? We love her hair!

Many of you may not be aware that we have a subscription offering… click to see the details here. One annual fee gets you unlimited recording of 15 books from our collection. I’m happy to announce to all of you that Snow White in the City as well as several other books we’re releasing soon will be automatically included in the subscription. So if you already subscribed, you’ll be getting more books to record without paying another dime. And if you haven’t subscribed yet… what are you waiting for? :)

Hope everyone has a great weekend… enjoy the new freebie and we’ll get back to work on Monday finding more books for you to record for your kids. :)
