For children
English stories for children
25 fairy tales, fables and folk tales from around the world, retold in very easy English (A1 and A2). Short enough to finish together in one sitting.
When the app opens, it will have a children’s section: a parent sets up a child’s profile behind a parental check, and that profile shows only these books. No third-party tracking.
