What People Say About Story Box Library

While nothing beats snuggling up in our rocking chair and reading a book together, the Story Box Library is a great way to build on the love of books and spend some quality time together. Educational TV at its best!

I love your site and have shared it with so many other teachers! My students love it when we log in and they notice a new book, nearly as much as new picture story books at school (very rare in our rural school).

I think the website is sooo pedagogically sound and wonderfully Australian - I have struggled to find different forms of literacy for our curriculum that are quality. Thank you for providing this... what a fabulous resource for families...!

Spooky Stories for Brave Kids

We’ve just released Sigi Cohen and James Foley‘s There’s Something Weird About Lena read by Osher Günsberg, which takes readers on a spooky quest to discover the hideous truth about the odd, weird girl called Lena. It joins a very spooky collection of stories on Story Box Library for the scariest month of the year, with stories to scare even the bravest kids and one very unscary story full of MONSTROUS apple trees and FRIGHTENING rainbows for the children who like the not-so-scary things.

Celebrating difference: supporting kids to see in new ways

For World Sight Day 2020, we’re taking the time to raise public awareness of blindness, and the impact vision impairment and wearing glasses can have on children at home or in the classroom. One of our recent releases (and free preview story until October 9 2020) The Boy in the Big Blue Glasses is a story to generate such awareness, with a focus on self-acceptance, empowerment and inclusivity.
