Story Time for Kids: Children’s Stories & Bedtime Tales brings imaginative tales, folktales, and original stories to young listeners. Hosted by Linda Cohen, a reading specialist, the show helps kids build early literacy through listening and visualization. New episodes monthly, perfect for bedtime, car rides, and classroom listening. Keywords: children’s stories, storytime for kids, bedtime tales, early literacy, children’s audiobooks, read-aloud, kids stories.

Linda Cohen’s goal is to spark curiosity, nurture a love of stories, and create meaningful moments you can share with your child.

Because these stories are told aloud, there are no pictures—and that’s intentional. Listening without visuals encourages children to develop one of the most important early literacy skills: visualizing. As they listen, they learn to turn words into mental images. In a sense, your child becomes the “director” of their own story experience, building a personal movie in their mind.

This kind of active listening strengthens comprehension, attention, creativity, and imagination. It may take practice, but it’s a joyful and valuable skill—and I’ll guide them along the way. Encourage your child to listen for details, ask questions, and share the pictures they imagined.

Thank you for joining Linda Cohen on this storytelling journey.

A new episode will be available each month!

3. ​Sometimes when we get annoyed, we have to be more accepting of others around us and figure out what we can do to make it better for all.

First published in 1930, Watty Piper’s The Little Engine That Could has become a timeless children’s classic that inspires children. The tale follows a modest blue engine that agrees to pull a train of toys over a mountain after stronger, larger engines decline. Its steady refrain—“I think I can”—underscores the book’s enduring message about resilience, optimism, and the quiet power of perseverance.
