Kids Stories
Twenty-one illustrated stories that read themselves aloud, page by page, and know when to stop.
Ages 2–7 · iPhone, iPad and Android
A picture book that reads itself aloud
Each story runs a few minutes, narrated page by page, with every word lighting up as it is read.

The library, sorted by age, with something new each week.

Every word lights up as it is spoken.

At bedtime the screen fades to black and stays there.
How it reads
It ends on purpose
In the evening the app turns to bedtime on its own. When the last page is done the screen fades slowly to black and stays there. Nothing plays next.
Read along, word by word
A child who is not reading yet still follows the line, and a child who is starting to read has something to follow.
Some stories ask you to move
Thirteen of the twenty-one pause and ask your child to do something: lift your knees high, clap to turn on the light. The other eight play straight through.
A door for grown-ups
Settings, the subscription, and anything that leaves the app sit behind a parent gate a child cannot pass by accident.
One story at a time
We think a screen should earn its place. The app is built for one story at a time, ideally with you beside them.
There are no ads, no autoplay, no feed, and nothing designed to keep anybody watching.
