Made for the times a screen will not do

Long car journeys. Aeroplanes. The forty minutes after lights-out when somebody is wide awake and you are not. Audio is the format that works when a screen is the wrong answer, and a story your child is actually in holds their attention in a way that a catalogue title does not.

Download the MP3 and it plays anywhere, with no signal: a phone, a car, a speaker. It works with a Yoto player the way any MP3 does.

How it compares to a subscription of ready-made audiobooks

A children's audiobook service gives you thousands of professionally produced stories, and they are good. What none of them can do is put your child in one — or write the one about starting at the specific school they are starting at next week.

Fablebee is the other half of that: keep the catalogue subscription, and reach for this when the story needs to be about them.

Every story gets a cover

Each one arrives with painted artwork matched to what it is about — the same illustrations you can see across the themes. It is how a child picks a story off a shelf they cannot read yet.

Six narrators read them — Arthur, Ted, Nora, Ronan, Wilf and Elsie — five British and one Irish. You can hear all six before you sign up for anything, and choose a different one for every story.

What it costs, without the runaround

Three stories free, with no card. Then £3.99 a month for four stories, £5.99 for seven or £6.99 for ten — or buy a pack of two or five and use them whenever, without a subscription at all. Prices include VAT and are in pounds.

Any length is included on every one of them. The pricing page has the details, including exactly what happens if you cancel.

Being straight with you

These are AI-generated audio stories, written by a language model and read by a synthetic voice — not a person in a studio. Every story is checked before it reaches you, and we describe the limits of that check rather than implying it is infallible.
