Linda Lee, VP and General Manager of Scholastic Audio, said, “We are excited to work with Tales2Go and make our audio stories available to parents and kids in an innovative new way – on-demand and on-the-go.  Smartphone mobile apps are proliferating at an incredible rate, and have become an important area of focus for us.”

William Weil, co-founder and CEO of Tales2Go, said, “Tales2Go and Scholastic share a mission to spark kids’ imaginations with storytelling.  We are pleased to be able to add Scholastic Audio titles to our service, including such family favorites as Clifford The Big Red Dog® and Goosebumps™.  Listening to stories is both entertaining and beneficial to kids, while also providing an alternative to “screen-based” media.”

Audio books have been shown to enrich listening skills, introduce kids to new vocabulary and make children more eager to read.
