First, Auryn’s own StoriesAlive subscription, priced at $7.99 a month, offers its collections of stories based on chronological or reading-level age of the child, as well as by interest area in themed book collections. Currently, Auryn is offering a giveaway of an iPad Mini and an iTunes gift card to people who enter between now and December 30th.
