"For as long as schools are closed, we're open. Starting today, kids everywhere can instantly stream an incredible collection of stories, including titles across six different languages, that will help them continue dreaming, learning, and just being kids.

All stories are free to stream on your desktop, laptop, phone or tablet."

The free audiobooks include children's books, teen books and even literary classics.

Some titles include: 

-Winnie The Poo

-Wheels on the bus 

-Anne of Green Gables

-Moby Dick 

Audible said all of the books in these categories are free to all listeners. 

Parents can also download Libby, which connects to your library card and allows users to download hundreds of free books. If you don't have a library card, the app will let you sign up for one.
