Kids and parents alike can enjoy vividly told children’s stories — and the beautiful classical music written to accompany those stories — on KING FM on Saturday mornings.

Saturday Morning Stories, airing each week at 8:30am, bring beloved characters and classic stories from Paddington Bear to Goodnight, Moon to the airwaves, thanks to a partnership with the Seattle Children’s Theatre.
