Since this podcast, I purchased a charming collection of childrens stories called "Cuentos de la Selva" ( stories of the forest). When I couldn't find a definition for "uras" I did an online search. While looking, I found the same collection available for free:

Enjoy!
I just discovered this podcast online, and after scanning the descriptions of all the episodes, I thought it might be helpful to post the books that have helped me learn spanish. Though, as you said in your first podcast, it might be different because I am a high school spanish student, I thought you should know it is not material books that worked for me as well as audiobooks. Though these are different to find in spanish, if you are able to find a book that you know read in spanish, it is both instructive and enjoyable to fill in the gaps in what you can understand with the words you already know are used in the book. Let me know if anyone finds this helpful.
When you mentioned searching for children's books in Spanish it reminded me that my local library has a dial-a-story phone line that you can call and listen to a recorded story in either English or Spanish. If you want to try it, the phone number is 206-386-4656. The story changes periodically so you can call back in a week or two and read another one.
The 'Thirteen senses'is available via Overdrive programme, so it might be free for download in your library via its electronic books.
I wrote a blog entry about this at my site, but basically search for the book in the WorldCat http://www.worldcatlibraries.org/oclc/53907475
I just found the International Children’s Digital Library. If you do the advanced search they have 114 kids books in Spanish. You can even then select by age group.
Just one more resource.
