MyWonderBooks

Ten years ago you trusted a small hand-made app at bedtime. Thank you. The reader is rebuilt — and everything we learned has grown into twelve new libraries.

Free illustrated audiobooks for children, narrated in six languages — with no ads, no subscription, and no account needed.

Press play and the story reads itself aloud while the words light up, one sentence at a time. Children who are still learning to read can follow along; children who can't read yet can simply listen and look at the pictures.

WHAT'S INSIDE • Classic tales — Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Robin Hood, Treasure Island, The Jungle Book and more • Every story narrated in English, Arabic, French, German, Spanish and Russian • Read-along highlighting that follows the voice • Comprehension quizzes for the stories that have them • Reading fonts and text sizes for children who find reading harder • Three reading modes, including a full-screen picture view

EVERY ONE OF THESE WAS MADE BY HAND There was no AI when these books were made. Each story was written by a person and drawn by a person, page by page. Each one was translated by someone who actually speaks the language, and read aloud by a real voice. Every sentence was matched to its own moment in the recording by hand, one at a time, because in 2016 nothing existed that could do it for us.

That is why there are so few stories here — and why we are keeping them exactly as they are.

SAFE FOR CHILDREN No advertising. Nothing to buy. No personal information sold to anyone. Anything meant for a grown-up sits behind a parental gate.

THANK YOU If you were one of the families who found us back then — thank you. You believed in this when it was a handful of stories and a lot of late nights.

Everything we learned making them has gone into a new generation of story apps at thewonderbooks.com: twelve libraries, from fairy tales to history to inventions. The same care, at a speed two hands could never reach.
