We've just posted a new kids' audio story, "Gerald the Cloud," on our kids' media blog, Punnybop. It's the second installment in our series of original audio stories for kids, and we'll be releasing them there from here on out. (We have two more original stories plus a recording of one of my favorite children's stories by an out-of-copyright author.) We'll also be keeping them rounded up on an "Audio Archive" page on Punnybop, which is where you can check out our first story, "The Two Bears and the Carousel," if you missed it.

This month's story is about a cloud named Gerald and his adventure through the water cycle after he leaves the security of his cloud community in hopes of learning what it's like "down there." I'm guessing it's one of the few kids' stories to end as it does and still make young listeners happy.
