This guys has the best sound effects, voices and accents! Wish he had done more curious George. He is sooo good at being George.

We discovered this podcast after Paul stopped making them. Really wish he’d keep going. I’ve got two young boys that love his voices and we’ve been through all the episodes multiple times now.

My kids are obsessed with these stories. We started listening during the pandemic when my oldest was 2, and he still enjoys them at 6, as do his two younger siblings. We have listened to all the stories multiple times. The excitement they had when he came back with one story in 2023 was immeasurable. We hope that Paul is doing well, and we can’t wait for more stories.

My kids love this podcast and demand it every night. They think every Paul they hear about is Paul Kolker from Bookmarked they love him so much!

My kids love the stories with the fun voices and silly sounds. It’s making us re-visit some of our own books at home that we forgot about.

My 3.5 year old son drives with me in the morning and afternoon for around 30 minutes to school/work and we love listening to these stories!! He loves the voices and sound effects!! Can’t wait for more!

My girls and I love to listen to these stories in the car driving to school! Thank you for doing these! We do have a request! Could you read the book, “the book with no pictures?”

My girls favorite podcast by far! I have so many requests, but I’ll start with Blueberries for Sal 💙

It was serendipitous finding the Bookmarked podcast and we have loved every minute since. Even the stories which don’t have a message / deeper meaning are so much fun. One of my favorites is “Go Dog Go” during which we find ourselves giggling uncontrollably. What a rendition. My 3 year old insists on listening to the podcast anytime we are in the car or when we go hiking and he is feeling tired and needs some motivation.

I had tried so many audio stories and books and my boys just weren’t interested. This podcast changed that! They ask for stories every time we are in the car and go around quoting their favorite lines (and noises). We need someone big to sponsor Paul so we can have more new stories!

Greetings from Houston, Texas! In our family we have two wonderfully wild little boys, ages 4 and 6, and we listen to a bookmarked podcast or two (or three sometimes!) almost every night before bed. My boys are pretty uninterested in most story time podcasts available for kids (and we had tried a bunch) because they are a little too slow moving and never hold their interest longer than 2 minutes. So we are so happy to have found Bookmarked! It fits the bill just perfectly to keep them still with active listening, give them a giggle, and help them wind down. If my boys, Daniel and Samuel (nicknames Tito and BB), could make a suggestion for a great book, we absolutely love "Just because you're mine" by Sally Lloyd Jones 😊 Sweet book with a profound message about a parents love

My 1.5 year old loves listening to Paul tell stories with his fun voices.

My 4 year old always wants me to make up stories to tell her. When I run out of inspiration Paul’s Bookmarked podcast is a lifesaver and quite frankly they are much more entertaining than my long, rambling made-up stories that go nowhere 😂

My almost two year old loves this podcast. I can always depend on it in the car when she’s getting fussy. She’ll laugh and smile at the voices. I enjoy listening to it too!

My kids tell me to play a story from “podcast Kolker”. They really enjoy this!

Every morning in carpool drop off we listen to a new book! My 6 year old reminds me if I ever forget to play the podcast! She loves it!!

Please please please read Stop The Yawn by Caron Levis. It is the perfect book for this perfect podcast. My kids LOVE books and consume them however they can. They’ll read them. They’ll ask others to read them. And their new favorite things is to listen to them via this podcast while they ride to and from school. Thank you for doing what you do. This show is a blessing.

My toddler loves this podcast. It’s such a life saver to entertain her until the car or while I’m busy breastfeeding the baby or doing something else.

COVID has meant trying to come up with new things to do as a nanny that the kids don’t get bored of. They love when I use different voices for their favorite books, but your voices are great! A 3 year old from Canton, MI kindly suggests that you upload “The Giving Tree,” by Shel Silverstein. These stories are also much better audiobooks than the same nauseating Disney Princess ones. Thanks!

My daughter will not sleep without this podcast at night! She’s memorized many of the books/vocabulary and is very quick to let me know that I do the voices wrong (it’s a tough competition!) 10/10 recommend! Mercy Watson and Frog and Toad are her favorites. She would like Paul to know that he needs to read, “Trouble Gum” someday.

We listen to a lot of story podcasts and this is by far my daughters favorite, largely because of the voices and silly sounds. Very captivating! As a parent, my one critical comment is the lack of diverse content including BIPOC stories that have a deeper message than that of Fancy Nancy or Pinkalicious. If the content was more inclusive I’d rate 5/5. Thanks!

This is a wonderful podcast for all young kids. He reads great children’s books and uses the funniest voices that even my 1 year old will giggle out loud over. Very entertaining!

My daughter loves to listen and follow along with her favorite books with Bookmarked. We have many of the classics read on the podcast, so it’s easy to grab a book and a few minutes of down-time when the kiddo listens along!

I found this podcast when I was looking for an audio version of the berenstain bears. Ever since that day, we have been daily listeners. My three year old talks about Paul as if he is our old friend. We have listened to every single episode; some at least 100 times. I even made a bedtime playlist for my boys ending with goodnight moon. We love books in our family and this podcast highlights many of our favorite books with new discoveries along the way. Thank you Paul for being a part of daily routine!!

My 5 year old daughter LOVES this podcast! Paul has a wonderful way of keeping us engaged and entertained. We’d love to make a request: Mercy Watson by Kate DiCamillo. Great job, Paul!

We listen to several of these podcasts every night as part of going to bed. Frog and Toad is by far the leader after the lights are out and the 4 year old is drifting (ideally) off to sleep. Paul has made a wonderful impact for both my child's routine and the parents routine. And while I was slightly miffed when the boy asked me to stop doing voices for books Paul has done I kind of agree with him :). Thank you, these are wonderful.

Paul brings the stories to life. Great enthusiasm and great talent as well.

This podcast helps us get through the day quarantined. It’s something new and fun. Great listen in the car/road trips. Fantastic variety and can’t wait to see the new ones launched. Thank you for putting your time and energy into these. Suggestions Pete the cat books Molly Lou melon M is for Mischief

Thank you for creating such a fun listen for kids (and adults!). My 2 year old insists on listening to his “music” anytime we are in the car.

Paul reads kids books with such enthusiasm and fun voices, my kids love it and I love to listen too!

We love Paul and every book. Dragons Love Tacos has taken over our house! Keep them up!

My kids love every episode they have listened to. They always want to hear more! Paul’s voices are the best and the kids think they are so funny! We love this podcast!

I loved reading to my kids when they were growing up but sometimes I wish there was someone who could do it for me. Well now there is a podcast with good stories and a very energetic person doing the reading. Love it

My kids and I were collapsing in giggles listening to these books. So special to get to share with them! Thank you! We finished, and they said, “AGAIN!!!”

These have been SUCH a hit with my kids (and a life-saver for me when I need a break)!!! So many of our favorites are here! We love them!!!! So nice to have good, wholesome children’s stories—classics both old and new—at our fingertips. And I appreciate that they’re podcasts as they are more accessible for me than typical audiobooks. Thank you, Paul!!!

I am not great at voices when reading to my kids but Paul is FANTASTIC at it! My kids laugh and ask for more stories after listening to his podcast. What a great idea! We are hooked!

Inspiring; edge-of-your-seat excitement! Paul’s voice will move you to tears. Even better than Joey Tribiani’s rendition of I Love You Forever.
