Ronyell, thank you for telling us about this audiobook series!

I believe it's also available in DVD format. See the following link:

As a member of Amazon Prime I was able to watch many of the stories free. See the following link:

The drawings and animations are terrific!

A while ago I sent my niece information about the series so she could show them to her kids. Below is what I wrote:
====================================================
"Below is a link to the Amazon pages where you can access animated videos made by Rabbit Ears Entertainment (aka Rabbit Ears Productions).
They are all classic stories told by many famous celebrities (like the one about the elephant).

"Rabbit Ears Productions is a children's series that aired from 1984-1995 on PBS." (per Wiki)

Awesome! What were your favorite stories from this series?

There are so many excellent stories that it's hard to choose a favorite. I really enjoyed "The Elephant's Child"! (It's told by Jack Nicholson with Music by Bobby McFerrin)

I've always loved "The Five Chinese Brothers".
