Never too old for a bedtime story.
Longer, calmer stories for older children. They choose the story, a voice they love reads it, and in the last part the voice gently slows, to help them settle.
The last part slows down for sleep.
Older children often want longer stories, and longer stories can wake them up. So in the last part of the story, the voice gets very gently slower, a little at a time, to help them settle. It’s on unless you switch it off.
Their story, their call.
Lights off, story on.
Pictures are optional. Choose Listen only and the screen stays dark and dim while the story plays, so the only thing glowing is the nightlight.
Feel the wind-down.
The end of a story for an older reader. Listen to the last page: the voice gets gently slower.
Rafi had never meant to become the keeper of a lighthouse. But when the old keeper handed him the brass key, the whole coast seemed to hold its breath.
A short sample: the words light up as they’re read.
Asked by parents of older children.
No. Stories for older children are longer and calmer, with richer words and proper plots. Nothing babyish, and no pictures at all unless they want them.
