Kotoha Tales Downloads & RevenueKotoha Tales: Fairy Tale Books · App Store

Discover fairy tales, folk tales and fables in a watercolor picture-book library. Listen to a gentle narrator, turn the pages together, or record a familiar voice for storytime.

From The Three Little Pigs and Cinderella to Aesop's fables, find a favorite to return to. Stories with coloring pages invite your child to create their own book cover, too. No ads, no tracking, no subscription.

■ Words light up

In Read to me, each word lights up as it's read, so little ones can follow along with their eyes, in English or Japanese. You can turn it off in Settings. Lock the screen while a story plays, so little fingers can't pause it or skip pages (hold the lock for 2 seconds to unlock).

■ Today's Pick

A different story waits near the top of the bookshelf every day. Read it to the end and record it in your own voice (and color it, if it has coloring pages), even before you unlock the full library. Add the Today's Pick widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen.

■ Read in your own voice

Record any book in your own voice, page by page. Stumbled over a word? Tap "Redo page" and read it again. When a grandparent visits, have them record a favorite story, and their voice will be there at bedtime.

■ Coloring pages

32 coloring pages from 8 stories, with watercolor, crayon, colored pencil and more, in 36 colors. With "Tap fill", little ones fill an area with one tap and never go outside the lines. Put your child's art on the bookshelf cover or inside the book, keep it in My Art, or print it. Color pages from the free stories right away; the one-time unlock opens every coloring page.

■ Personalized stories

Put your child's name in the text of Jack and the Beanstalk, Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz and Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The narrator keeps the original names, so record yourself reading it and the story is theirs to keep (included with the one-time unlock).

■ Made for bedtime

Set a sleep timer: 10, 20 or 30 minutes, or stop at the end of the story. The story keeps playing with the screen off, then gently stops, and you can pause it from the Lock Screen. Bedtime mode dims the screen and plays soft rain or ocean sounds after the story. Turn on Continuous play to move on to the next story without a tap.

■ English and Japanese

Every story is narrated in both English and Japanese (sing-along song books have a single song track). Switch languages and hear the same story again, a natural first step into a second language.

■ New stories keep coming

We keep adding picture books in free updates. Look for the "New Stories" shelf.

■ See what you have read

Streaks, badges and favorites make it easy to return to a favorite or discover something new.
