When our storytellers visit classrooms and ask, "How many of you read stories with your parents at home?" they are invariably astonished by the response. Perhaps three out of thirty children raise their hands. We grew up being read to, and that warm experience of reading aloud together provided the early stimulus for many of us to develop a love of reading.

Today's families have many challenges: single parent households; both parents working full-time; parents working more than one job - with the result that few parents are able to find the time to read to their children. Our on-line storytelling with Tom Chapin's narration is intended as 'lapware' - children can curl up with their exhausted parents at the end of a long day, and our warm narrator, Tom Chapin, will read them a story, with the artwork animated for a computer format, but easy to download quickly.
