I just found this, also via Pinterest, and I absolutely love it!  On their website, Barnes and Noble is offering free online stories read by authors and celebrities.  You can enjoy all sorts of popular characters and titles, such as Green Eggs and Ham, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, and this month's featured story, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, read by the author himself, Eric Carle.  Click the picture below to visit the Online Storytime portion of Barnes and Noble's website!
