So there you have it! With a little effort (and maybe a sprinkle of internet sleuthing), you can keep your kids entertained with a steady stream of free children's books. Now go forth, download those digital stories, and enjoy the blissful silence (or at least the slightly less loud brand of chaos) that comes with a child engrossed in a good book.
P.S. Don't forget to stock up on snacks. Because let's be honest, free books or not, those little monsters are gonna get hungry eventually.
