What it actually is

Running since 2009 with over three hundred and sixty videos, this channel animates and narrates children's books with the stated aim of getting children to borrow the real thing. Eight to twelve minutes each. Because it is a book being read rather than dialogue, the Portuguese is full sentences at a steady pace — the closest thing here to a graded reader you can listen to.
