Coffee Break Collection
Animals
by Various
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
A collection of short public-domain stories and essays about animals, with pieces on creatures of land, sea, and air. Each selection runs about three to fifteen minutes, making it easy to hear a complete work in a brief listening break.
Part of the Coffee Break series, this volume brings together varied short works rather than following a single story or subject in depth. It suits listeners looking for compact readings about the natural world during a commute, a pause in the day, or another short stretch of time.
