Created to take children from playtime to bedtime, the 40 short stories will inspire children’s imagination, as Emma takes listeners from funny farm stories to underwater explorations to horse riding adventures.
Audible currently starts at A$8.99 per month, with a 30 day free trial available for new customers. The premium plus plan costs A$16.45 per month and includes 1 credit per month to buy any audiobook, which you keep, even if you cancel. You also get to listen to thousands of additional audiobooks and originals from the Plus Catalogue, along with exclusive sales and discounts.
The launch follows Audible’s announcement of new Kids Profiles; a child-friendly listening space where parents and caregivers can easily share curated audio titles with children, ensuring that audio content can be enjoyed in a parent-controlled environment from the Audible app.
