Kidswho imagine unicorns, dragons, and assorted cryptids everywhere they go will love this hilarious new series about friendship, adventure, and mythical creatures from around the world by Newbery Honor-winning author Adam Gidwitz.

Liesl Shurtliff has a well-earned reputation for turning fairy tales on their head with her hilarious and heartfelt origin stories. This one focuses on Rump, a grumpy dwarf who gets tangled up in Snow White's feud with the wicked queen.


In the beginning adventures of this beloved chapter book series, Jack and Annie travel through time completing quests for their friend Morgan le Fay, the enchantress of Arthurian legend. In the Merlin Mission books, the duo works with the wizard Merlin, also of Arthurian legend.


For slightly older readers, this YA epic fantasy with Nigerian roots grapples with the meaning of justice: Taj is a sin-eater, able to slay lethal creatures spawned from feelings of guilt.

Jack bowed his head and clasped his hands together as he tried to block out the mass of mourners surrounding him. He was not bothered by the winter chill in the air. Nor did he notice the solemn drone from the pastor who stood at the head of the open grave.


Jack Smith was an only child, orphaned before he could walk and raised by his grandfather, Arthur Smith, who was a scholar and philosopher. Arthur was renowned by the whole of England for having published countless books and left behind a stately home which had an extensive library.


Standing in the distance, looking at another grave, stood a young woman no older than Jack. Her narrow shoulders trembled, and she wore a long ivory gown. Embroidered lace covered her arms, and she had a snowy white veil covering her blonde hair.


A dusting of white fell like ash from the sky and settled on the ground. Jack watched the flecks of snow fall into the open grave and allowed a slight smile to break his grimace. He knew his grandfather would have something philosophical to say about the moment. But Jack appreciated that, for once, the weather reflected his mood.


Jack was grateful that Mr. Thomas had everything in hand. He took care of all the funeral arrangements, organized the caterers, and even booked a string quartet. It was above and beyond what any family lawyer should do. But he did it anyway. All Jack had to do was put on his suit and turn up.


The tires crunched over the gravel driveway as the stretch limousine pulled up outside the manor. A door opened and Jack stepped out gloomily. As he walked to the entrance, he stuffed his hands in his pockets and kept his head bowed low. Whispers flew around the courtyard and followed him into the home, but no one addressed him. He could have been invisible for all he knew.


A large stream of nosey people swarmed in and looked around the manor like they were visiting a museum. Arthur Smith was the grandson of a duke. The manor was the finest example of eighteenth-century architecture in Tynhem, and this was the first opportunity for members of the public to look inside.


According to the will, Arthur bestowed everything to Jack. But Jack did not like the idea of living in a twelve-bedroom manor and maintaining four acres of gardens alone. He instructed Mr. Thomas to sell it as soon as the funeral was over and let him know as soon as the funds were available.


After several awkward minutes of standing in the entrance hall, picking at the seam of his jacket, he headed upstairs to the bathroom, certain he would not be missed. He glanced at the paintings of his ancestors as he ascended the steps and allowed his hand to drag along the oak rail, rubbed smooth over years of use.


The hinges squeaked as the door swung open and a flash of brilliant white light momentarily blinded him. Shielding his eyes, he cautiously stepped forward and blinked several times to take in the room. A wide mahogany desk stood proudly in the center with an open leather-bound book laying on top. Jack leaned in to find a quote encircled.


Jack traced the words with his finger and let out a heavy sigh, but his breath caught in his throat. He tugged at his collar with a grimace and glanced at the small dusty window. He supposed it had never been opened.


He caught his reflection. His muddy brown hair sat wavy around his ears, and despite his moody disposition, his eyes twinkled. He had always been scrawny and small, but the young man looking back at him in the mirror was taller, with a healthy glow. He stood up straight and squared his shoulders, clenching his biceps and setting his jaw. Then a pair of sky-blue eyes blinked at him from behind his shoulder. As quick as a flash, he turned to see who was standing behind him. He recognized those eyes. But no one was there.


He stood on the top of a snowy hilltop, and brilliant white light flooded the sky. To the right, a magnificent white castle sparkled in the distance and a little village of wooden houses with smoking chimneys sat nestled in a valley.


Despite the winter frost, and the thin material of her cloak, she did not shiver. Nor were her cheeks rosy from the cold. She held out a gloved hand and smiled at Jack like she was an old friend. As if this was not the first time she had witnessed someone stumble through a mirror.


Surprised at the sound of his name, Jack began moving again, and the two of them hurried down the hilltop towards the castle. All the while, the mystery woman kept her face forward, never so much as glancing back.

Listening to recorded fairy tales is an extremely beneficial pastime for children's development, similar to reading. It helps children relax, expands their vocabulary, and contributes to their imagination. In addition, it encourages children to actively listen and practice paying attention. Listening can also raise their interest in reading the books themselves. And last but not least, it's a form of quality time spent with loved ones.


There are a number of sources where you can find ready-made audio stories. But how about making your own recording that combines your voice and sound effects? This will let your children fall asleep listening to your own voice.


Select the fairy tale you want to record and open it after downloading to the library. If you want the recording to be even better in quality, try to rehearse reading the story aloud before hitting the record button. You will hear when the sound effects will play, and then nothing will surprise you when recording.




Turn on recording and read the story aloud. It is ideal to be in a quiet environment and, if possible, warn your family members not to disturb you. Or, on the contrary, make use of them to help you create both a common work, and unforgettable memories all in one :)




You can find the saved fairy tale in the Readmio library section. Audio recordings are marked with the "REC" symbol. Choose the "play" option and enjoy your first custom audio recording. You can send your work to another device, your car, or your family and friends. Or send it to Readmio - we'd love to hear how your recording worked out.
