This is an incredible link that I came across many years ago and have kept in my back pocket. I pass it around to teachers and parents whenever possible, and now I have the opportunity to use it for my own kids.
This is a collection of children's records from the 50's and 60's. They're all stories, mostly read by very famous actors. Some are read by Danny Kaye. The best of the bunch are highlighted.
Down near the bottom is the absolute best of the bunch: the 13 clocks, read by Lauren Becall. This is one of my favourite books of all time. Lauren Becall is an actress that I have the utmost respect for. She reads the text perfectly with a dry severity. It's so compelling.
There are many more links on this page, so this is a great jumping off point if you're looking for more recordings of this kind.
