The things you would want to know before handing it over.
There are no ads in the app and nothing for sale. Wherever your child taps, it is fine.
When a story is over, it stops there. Nothing plays next on its own — your child chooses “Read again” or “Bookshelf”.
Your child’s name and reading progress are saved on this device only. No accounts, no analytics, nothing sent anywhere.
Every story, picture and voice is inside the app. It reads the same on a plane or in the car.
Each book is six or seven pages and takes about a minute to read aloud — just right for one story before bed.
The narrator sounds like a narrator, Lulu like a wolf pup and Grandpa Owl like a grandpa. Pages are read slowly, one at a time, and each line of dialogue sits in a speech bubble with the speaker’s face.
Every story has a fork. “How should Lulu help?” The story changes with the choice, so there is always another path to try next time.
Tap a friend in the picture and they move and call out in their own voice. Try tapping the friends below.
All the story friends gather on one stage. Tap them and dance along to the music.
Read and listen in English, Korean, Japanese and Spanish. The words and the voices change together, so the same story can be met again in another language.
The picture fills the screen and the words sit on a card below. Comfortable upright or sideways.
Pick a book from the shelf, turn the pages and finish with Dance Time. A 48-second look around.
Recorded with the app set to Korean.
Pori does the reading aloud, but there is still a place for a grown-up right beside your child. A few ideas:
“What would you do?” Then listen to why.
Every book comes with three things to talk about together.
A different choice brings new scenes and new friends.
It suits children from about three to seven, reading together with a grown-up. Children who cannot read yet can still turn the pages by tapping, and the text and buttons are large.
It is free. There are no ads and no in-app purchases.
Yes. Every story, picture and sound is inside the app.
