Created and produced by parents of young children, WBUR's Circle Round adapts carefully-selected folktales from around the world into sound- and music-rich radio plays for kids ages 3-103. Each 15 to 25-minute episode explores important issues like kindness, persistence and generosity. And each episode ends with an activity that inspires a deeper conversation between children and grown-ups.

Really good👍🏼I recommend Circle Round! 😁
Hi I am 9 and I have listened to circle round for 5 or 6 years. It’s soooooooooooooo good and interesting! It’s also a great way to pass time. Make more episodes and please no more adds. The adds are to long and annoying. Otherwise it’s 🤩 awesome. I like listening when I draw in the circle round coloring books. I have listened to all Circle Round episodes at least three times. My favorite episode is The Hat, the Horn and the coin purse. I am glad you make a new episode almost every week, so I don’t have to listen to the same ones over and over again. 😁😁😁😁😊😊😊😊 Awesome stories! I rate five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Also I hope y’all have a great day.
