The Hare and the Hedgehog.Last week I discovered two wonderful Audio file sites: Story Nory and Lit 2 Go. Both are free. You can import the latter directly into ITunes through the "store" and then go to "Education," then "University of South Florida," then "College of Education."
This week, I discoverd the Elson Readers with the Table of Contents on-line. These are not the "Dick and Jane series introduced by William Gray in the thirties. They appear to be authored by William Elson. See the post on A Review of Readers.
I'm always looking for ways to enjoy our time in the car: and I have children who won't sleep. So, burning CD's with selections from the readers seemed like a good idea.
So, here's what I found for The Elson Readers, Books 2 and 3, just in case you'd like to burn your own.

I am so grateful to have these resources I am not going to complain about the fact that I couldn't find more. But if you can suggest sites with human readers of free literature: I would deeply appreciate it.
Enjoy!
edited to add: I did find another source. I put it in link in a sidebar. And there's librivox, of course. How did I forget that?
