The Very Hungry Caterpillar was in that pile and it is a story from my own childhood, one which I think all children should experience at some point or other. It is a very simplistic tale of a caterpillar's progress from egg to butterfly and took just a couple of hours to produce in its entirety on audio.
With less than two minutes' worth of vocals, I felt that music and effects were necessary to give the audio version a little more depth and so I turned to the back catalogue of Kevin MacLeod at Imcompetech for a suitable piece of opening and closing music (called 'Transition One').
The only effect really needed was a 'chomp' sound for each bite that the caterpillar takes in the story and one was easily sourced from Freesound, a website where you can download and share sound recordings for free. It has proven invaluable over the past couple of months whilst recording The Tales of Estolia.
