We are glad to announce that our children's books are now available online at www.astorybeforebed.com.
Make our stories your own! Customize the experience and share it with friends or family. As long as one has a webcam, a customer can record themselves reading the book, page by page. Like a television's picture in picture feature, they can see themselves in a little window next to the story's illustrations. Then if they like their performance, they can pay an affordable fee to "own" it, and then they can email their "storytime" to another person around the globe who can enjoy playing it.
This is a great way for parents on the road to send greetings home. Similarly, grandparents and friends can email their love in living color. Plus as a service to our men and women in uniform, people in the United States armed forces can sign up for a special mailing list offering free recordings and discounts so they can send greetings to their children who may be far away.
