The Story World
Every kind of story has a place to live. A child taps a place, picks a cover and listens.
- The castle keeps the fairy tales, the owl's tree the fables, the little town the everyday adventures and the stage the rhymes
- Down in the workshop, children make stories of their own
- In the middle, one story is already chosen for tonight
- Nothing scrolls sideways and nothing asks to be collected

Fairy tales, fables, adventures and rhymes.
Fairy tales & folk tales
Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs, The Gingerbread Man and The Ugly Duckling, next to Anansi from Ghana, Momotaro from Japan, Sang Kancil from Malaysia and Tiddalik the thirsty frog from Australia. 49 are animated and read aloud from beginning to end, about three minutes each.
Fables
Short stories that end on one small idea: The Thirsty Crow, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Fox and the Grapes, The Little Red Hen, Birbal's Khichdi and The Hummingbird and the Forest Fire.
Everyday adventures
Leo and Mia do the things young children do for the first time: a visit to the doctor, the first day of school, a first flight, a haircut, a trip to the dentist.
Nursery rhymes
Sung, and each one acted out in its own little scene: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Humpty Dumpty, Old MacDonald Had a Farm, Row Row Row Your Boat, Five Little Ducks and more.
Make a Story
A story maker for kids: build a picture book from painted characters, animals, vehicles and treasures, add words and record your own voice.
Sample stories
The Tortoise and the Hare, Stone Soup, Blast Off! and more: read one, then tap the pencil and make it your own.
Make a Story
Your child builds a picture book of their own, then reads it aloud in their own voice.
- Choose a place: a castle, a beach, a jungle or outer space
- Drag in characters, animals, vehicles and treasures from more than 1,500 painted pieces
- Add a line of words to each page and record your own voice reading it; the finished book plays back like the stories on the shelf
- 20 editable sample stories to start from
- The starter pieces download by themselves; ten more sets (animals, people, vehicles, space, food, landmarks, nature and others) download when you choose them
Hello, Nana!
Nana is the gentle grandmother rabbit who keeps the Story World: round glasses, a starry shawl and a book under her arm, ready for tonight's story.
Calm for children. Clear for parents.
A parent corner
Behind a quick times-table question: choose which stories appear and set a daily screen-time limit, so the stories stop by themselves at bedtime.
Private by design
No ads, no in-app purchases and no accounts. The app collects no data, and voice recordings stay on the device.

Once the stories have downloaded, it works without a connection: in the car, on a plane or in a bedroom with the Wi-Fi off.

Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the stories have downloaded it works without a connection: in the car, on a plane or in a bedroom with the Wi-Fi off.

Is it on iPhone, iPad and Android?
Yes. It is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad and on Google Play for Android phones and tablets.
Is this the same app as Folk Tales: Bedtime Stories?
Yes. Kids Bedtime Stories & Rhymes was formerly Folk Tales. The folk tales are all still there, now with fables, everyday adventures, sung nursery rhymes and Make a Story, in a painted Story World.
