Is it possible to make my kindle fire read?
I just got a kindle fire and I'd like it to read stories (specifically children books) for my son.

The Kindle Fire does not have text to speech. The kindle touch and kindle keyboard have that feature. I have searched and there are no text to speech apps that work on the Kindle Fire from what I can find. Audible audio books, or downloading an audio book and recording it in MP3 format are better.
Maybe perhaps you record yourself reading your kid's audio books on your PC with audacity, then transfer the MP3 file to your kid's Kindle so he can listen to you read books. This way you take the time to read them when you have free time and he has permanent audio of your voice.

Eh?!
You can't spare 15 minutes to read a book to your child?!
If such a feature exists, it's horrible in this context! Indeed! Poor lad!

To answer your question:
If you check the item description for a potential book, you can see whether or not it has text to speech enabled. If it's anything like my Kindle Touch, you'd simply tap the top of the screen to bring up the options, select the menu and then "Turn on Text-To-Speech".

Audible is an app that has audiobooks. I believe it comes predownloaded with the kindle fire.
