In an effort to help kids (and adults) stay stimulated during the pandemic Audible.com is giving away 250 audiobooks for free. By giving away, we mean, you can stream the books for free online. No account and no subscription is needed. All of the books can be streamed for free from stories.audible.com.
Roughly 55 of the books in the collection are also available in 5 other languages–Italian, French, Spanish, German and Japanese. Audible says that the offer will last as long as schools are closed, but it will likely last longer, as it’s a rough road for content services to take back the things they have made free.
