Love picture books?

Younger readers who love picture books will appreciate the vibrant, colourful pages and moving objects within each story. Older children will learn from the short stories with morals. Themes covered include accepting oneself, showing compassion and thoughtfulness, or simply having wonderful childhood fun.

Move objects and make sounds with interactive stories

In some stories children will be directed by arrows to click on objects (like making Jenny McPenny splash in puddles, bin lids rattle, or turning lights on and off). Other stories hold their own hidden surprises waiting to be discovered, like releasing a bird from a cage or making a ferry fog horn blow. The stories are a delight to read and experience at all ages, though recommended for those in the 3-10 age group.

Bedtime stories

Are you looking for bedtime stories for kids? Each colourful story is wonderfully narrated, making them perfect for bedtime reading, or any other time of day which calls for an uplifting, enjoyable, short story to be shared. You may choose to read them in silence, encouraging older children to practise their reading skills.
