How long are your stories, generally?
We have varying lengths of stories — whether you need a quick 10-minute story before bedtime or need car entertainment for 45 minutes.
Depending on the collection, the stories run anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes. The Sparkle Sleepytime stories are geared for younger listeners, so they are on the shorter end, running 10- 15 minutes each. The Sparkle Car episodes are 45 minutes to an hour.
You'll find the time of each story listed on the story's landing page.
