## Description

Japanese folk tales, Grimm, Aesop, and more. 98 classic stories read aloud in English and Japanese. Record the tales in your own voice, too. No ads, no subscription.

98 classic tales, read aloud. Or in your own voice.

Kotoha Tales is a storybook app for children around ages two to six and the grown-ups who read with them. It brings together 98 classic stories, from Japanese folk tales to the fairy tales of Europe.

No reading required. A gentle voice reads each page, so children can turn the pages and enjoy a story on their own.

■ In English and Japanese

Every book comes with narration in both English and Japanese. Switch languages and hear the same story again — a natural first step into a second language.

■ Read in your own voice

Record any book in your own voice. On busy evenings, or from far away, a grandparent's voice can still tell the bedtime story. Recordings can be sent to family.

■ Keep reading

When one book ends, the next begins. Perfect for the quiet stretch before bed.

■ See what you have read

The app remembers which books you have read and how far you got, so favorites are easy to find again and new stories are easy to discover.

■ What is inside

• 39 tales from around the world (Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, The Emperor's New Clothes, and more)
• 19 Japanese folk tales (The Bamboo Princess, The Grateful Crane, and more)
• 19 of Aesop's fables (The Hare and the Tortoise, The Fox and the Crow, and more)
• 13 song books
• 8 literary classics

Every story is a fresh retelling of a public-domain original, and every illustration was drawn for this app.

■ Made for children and parents

• No advertising
• No subscription
• No account required
• Every book and recording is stored in the app, so it works without a connection
• Voice recordings stay on your device and are shared only when you choose to send them

■ Pricing

Six books are free to read. A single one-time purchase unlocks every story. No recurring charges.
