One of the greatest things to come out of us being at home this week has to be seeing people band together to finds ways to keep us and our kids entertained. My favorite thing that I have seen this week is celebrities reading aloud to kids on YouTube, entertaining us on Instagram, posting fun stories on Facebook.
StorylineOnline is a YouTube channel where celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Chrissy Metz, Kristen Bell, Wanda Sykes, Sarah Silverman and many more read stories that your children will love. Each video also has moving illustrations from the book to keep your children even more entertained.
Kristen Bell reads Quackenstein Hatches a Family written by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen and illustrated by Brian T. Jones
Oprah Winfrey reads The Hula-Hoopin’ Queen written by Thelma Lynne Godin and illustrated by Vanessa Brantley-Newton
Rami Malek reads The Empty Pot written and illustrated by Demi
Sarah Silverman reads A Tale of Two Beasts written and illustrated by Fiona Roberton
Wanda Sykes reads The Case of the Missing Carrot Cake written by Robin Newman and illustrated by Deborah Zemke
There are many celebrities getting in on this fun virtual story time. You can check out the YouTube channel here.

I would love to hear Kitty Kat Wants Stripes read by a celebrity. What a treat that would be!
Hi, they are celebs and maybe be asked to read the books by the publishers but how about a person who loves to tell stories and wants to do read out too, are we general people allowed to read out any random story books on youtube ?
