Online Children's Stories

There are a lot of stories available on the Internet to read or download. Some of them are from well-known books, others can be found only online.

Story Collections: Here you will find Web sites that have a variety of stories available: some folktales, some contemporary stories, maybe some poetry and non-fiction as well.
Folklore, Myth and Legend: This page includes links to many sources of folklore, as well as to information about folklore.
Songs and Poetry: Everything from nursery rhymes to classic poems.
Classics for Young People: Look here for access to some of the major children's books of the past, now out-of copyright, and available in full-text on the Internet.
Contemporary Writing for Children and Young Adults: Some of these stories are taken from books by well-known authors such as Dr. Seuss and Ludwig Bemelmans; others are published only online, by newcomers to children's books.
