Hey friends, it's Mr. Jim and welcome back to Kid Short Stories.

Guess what?

I've been working for a while on a new invention called Story Button.

Yeah, Story Button is a new device, a new speaker that makes it easy to listen to podcasts without having to use a screen device, you know, tablets or your parents' phone.

Yes, Story Button makes it easy to listen to your favorite podcasts, including kids' short stories, biology squad,' animal stories, bedtime stories, and more.

Have your parents check down in the show notes to learn more about how they're coming very soon.

Or go to storybutton.com to learn more.
