Kalila wa Dimna fables for kids, read aloud with karaoke word highlighting.
Kalila wa Dimna is a fully-Arabic, offline read-along storybook of Ibn al-Muqaffa's timeless animal fables, designed in a classical-manuscript style with emerald and gold colors and naskh script.
Each tale is narrated clearly while the current word lights up in gold in perfect time with the audio (a karaoke read-along), so children follow the words as they hear them and read and listen at the same time.
Features:
- Nine classic fables adapted into short, fully-vowelled (tashkeel) Arabic for children, each ending with its moral: the Lion and the Bull, the Monkey and the Turtle, the Crow and the Snake, the Hare and the Elephants, the Ascetic and the Weasel, the Ringed Dove, the Tortoise and the Two Ducks, the Rat and the Cat, and the Monkey and the Carpenter.
- Karaoke read-along: every word is highlighted in gold exactly as it is spoken.
- Automatic page-turn as each page finishes, with play, pause, replay, and an autoplay toggle.
- Tap any word to jump the narration to it.
- Classical-manuscript design (emerald and gold, Amiri naskh), with light and dark themes.
- Fully Arabic and right-to-left throughout, works 100% offline (audio is bundled), with no ads and no tracking.
