Epic!
It is American but it does have fiction/non-fiction books grouped by ZPD. They aren’t necessarily by well-known authors but there are some well-known texts on there. It’s also full to the brim with non-fiction so could be useful if they are looking for age-appropriate research texts.
Audio books to listen to stories
A trio of providers here for you to listen to. Keep that imagination and relaxation. Is anybody else old enough to remember that radio classic Listen with Mother? Dads you'll love it too.. Lots of picture books to enjoy.
