With the advent of podcast, its
ever-growing popularity and usage, an abundance of shows about
children books is available on the internet. A podcast is an audio show, usually spread across a series of episodes, available on internet, which can be accessed on phone or computer. Podcast can be a perfect way to
strengthen your love of literature. Listen to good children literature with your
child. It gives an opportunity to listen to a book by a skilled narrator
who can bring out emotions and humour of the book. Listening to a book can help
your child learn correct pronunciations, punctuations and new words while enjoying listening to a good story. Some
podcast shows not only read aloud books to you but discuss the books and talk
to authors also.
To get you started, listed below are some of the most
interesting and resourceful podcasts that have a good archive of children books.

India and around the world in Hindi and English.
