Candid photos of celebs from
GH reading children's stories for
Speakaboos.
Kelly Monaco, Rebecca Herbst and other cast members from ABC’s General Hospital taped a reading for a children’s book for Speakaboos on their GH set on August 20. With the celebs' help (and the help of all Speakaboo celebrity readers), Speakaboo continues its cause to support reading and education for our youth.
The book will be available on Speakaboos.com and partial proceeds from their recordings will go to charities supporting children’s health and wellness. Speakaboos is an online publisher that celebrates classic literary properties for children such as Curious George, Arthur, Goldilocks, Snow White and Aesop's Fables through the voices of today's biggest stars including Kevin Bacon, Nick Cannon, John Krasinski and Kelly Ripa.
Featuring storybook videos online with original illustrations and music accompanied by educational activities, games and contests, parents and teachers are encouraged to try the included story guides, lesson plans (based on national standards), and worksheets to reinforce educational lessons at home and in the classroom. 
Speakaboos contributes 15% of all revenues to charities supporting children’s health and wellnesspartners with premier educational organizations such as the National Education Association. The entire Speakaboos library is available for viewing online for free on Speakaboos.com and available for download on the website at $0.99. Speakaboos’ goal is to try to reinvigorate the story telling process of classic children’s stories by having today’s hottest celebrities bring new life to these classic tales.
