Welcome to The Story Mouse, a top-quality collection of virtual books for children.

Do you remember all those wonderful stories we grew up with? Now theyre here, retold with bags of character for your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. But the tale is only half the story! All our titles come with bright, colourful illustrations to complete the listening and reading experience, with lots of fun along the way.

• Stories from The Story Mouse are presented as virtual books.
Our professional presenter reads the story aloud as the text appears.
On the iPad, each page has an illustration on the left, with the text on the right. On the iPhone and iPod touch, the illustrations are displayed full screen when you hold the device vertically. Turn the device horizontally to display the text.
Sentences are highlighted as the story progresses, making the words easy to follow.

• Tales from The Story Mouse are perfect for bedtime listening or on a long journey. Not only that, but there is a "read it myself" mode too which turns the voice off. Young readers can then use the app as a regular book to advance the story at their own pace. All our stories are a pure listening experience for younger children, as well as a read-along experience for those who are learning to read.

• Best of all, The Story Mouse comes with free stories! You can safely purchase the entire collection using your iTunes account.
Once you have purchased the collection, it can be retrieved on all devices associated with your iTunes account.

Pros and cons of Story Mouse app for iPhone and iPad

Story Mouse app good for

This is a great story app. My daughter loves. Its also great when travelling.
luv it!! im 11 and i still get it to reed me a book evry nite!!
Beautiful illustrations. Great selection. Must-have for bedtime stories. Love it.
We love Story Mouse!!! Especially the way the narrator "ad libs" little details of the stories. So cute!

Some bad moments

My app shows no words on the read myself option. It still has the narrator. Very disappointing.
The kids love it so it gets Five stars in my book! I have a 2 yr old and a 4 yr old it keeps them quiet, entertained, occupied especially on extended trips.
Nice but needs more stories, seems like The still of characters are the same, what I mean is that if it were made by the same person
My grandson loves the books. I wish there were more stories though.
My students like comparing the different twist to the stories.
I started with this app with little confidence, having previewed or purchased several storybooks or storybook apps. To my delight, this app came with a free story that captured the imagination of my child and, if Im being honest; me! The free story was so loved by my daughter we purchased another, then another, each time our expectations were met in excess. We love the dialect of the readers; so much so that my daughter insists Samson (Bible story) speaks with the same dialect... so I try. Much of the allure for us is the imagery. Where other apps fail is with too much animation or interaction. The images in the Story Mouse books are enough to leave the storytelling up to the listeners imagination, where it should be, and enough extra sounds and reading style for an inexperienced reader to learn to read it with style on your own. We dont have them all, but we are enjoying this app and its stories very much!
