ADVERTS DISCLAIMER:
This podcast has ads at the start of every episode. However never in the middle of a story or at the end.
Please be assured all ad blocks have been applied to ensure no over 18 or inappropriate ads are played.
However, there may be the odd occasion where an advert slips through the net because the company submitting them submits them under a category that is not correct. This happens very rarely and I do my upmost to stop this happening.
If this happens, please email me at shortstoriesforkids@gmail.com and let me know the following information: What the ad was for? What state you live in? And what episode you heard it on and I will immediately contact Spreaker to block the ad.
I take this very seriously and I really appreciate your support and co-operation.
As creators, we want your child’s experience to be a pleasurable one. Running adverts is necessary to allow us to operate, but please do consider the premium subscription service as an alternative – it’s ad free.

| 0:11.7 | The Gingerbread House. |
| 0:15.0 | Something strange was going on in the forest of Maine, USA. |
| 0:20.1 | Cackling laughter after dark, black shapes blotting out the |

| 1:36.2 | across them. Their walk always followed the same paths through the trees, and the dogs knew it |
| 1:42.2 | well. And yet, today, the three hounds were straying deeper |
| 1:46.6 | into the forest. "'Coco, Zillow, Juno! Come here!' shouted Mia. But unusually, the dogs weren't obeying. |
