Once Upon a Fold

Pop-up bedtime storybooks

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Pop-up storybooks that come alive and read to your child. Open a book and every page folds up off the paper like a real pop-up book. The characters act out the story, a full voice cast reads every line, and every book has its own sound effects and music. FIVE CLASSIC TALES, WITH A WINK • The Three Little Pigs (free): the wolf ends up asking for a house of his own • Jack and the Beanstalk: a giant who just wants some peace and quiet • Goldilocks and the Three Bears: a tiny food critic with a very serious notebook • Little Red Riding Hood: Grandma is far too clever for the wolf • The Gingerbread Man: why is everyone chasing him? He forgot his smile! Gentle, funny retellings with kind endings: nobody gets eaten. More books are on the way. YOUR CHILD PLAYS THE STORY In every book, the story waits for your child: blow on the microphone and the wolf huffs the straw house away, swipe up and the beanstalk grows into the clouds, knock twice on the three bears' door, draw the Gingerbread Man's jump across the river. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Pick a book on the front screen, open the phone, and the story pops up on the big inside screen. It's lovely on every iPhone and iPad too. BE THE STAR Add a photo of your child, and they become the hero of every story. FOR BEDTIME Bedtime mode makes each page a little darker and calmer, with a softer, slower voice. Turn the voice off to read aloud yourself, or record the whole book in your own voice. SAFE FOR KIDS No ads. No tracking. Nothing your child does leaves the device. Purchases sit behind a grown-ups' question. Read in English, Spanish, French, German and Japanese. The Three Little Pigs is free. Each other book is a one-time purchase, or get all four together and save.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• A gentle hint now shows how to turn the pages in every book. • The title page turns over like a real paper page, corner first. • No more dark flash when you turn your phone sideways to read. • The "Get ready!" arrow now stays in place. • Japanese: the "Be the Star" label on the bookcase now fits neatly.
