So helpful at bedtime, I’m really glad I found this. The free story is quiet, lovely and was requested by my 2 year old frequently for some time. Now that she’s 3 we have purchased the other stories (there are only three of them and a bargain at .99 each). Each story seamlessly transitions into a long bedroom scene at the end which is brilliant, the perfect tool for helping young kids drift off to sleep without realizing it. The scene is a child’s toy filled bedroom slowly being revealed in a sleepy segment that balances soft, sweet music with just enough camera movement to hold the attention of a tired kid with heavy eyes. My daughter tries to watch closely as different sections of the room are panned to or zoomed in on as she seeks out hidden characters or counts their appearances in the space. It lulls her to dream land on our roughest nights when some extra help is needed - almost every time! And since it’s the parents (not the kids) who get tired of watching the same content repeatedly, I really hope they are actually working on new stories; the app has said they are “coming soon” for a long time now. My daughter - and especially I - look forward to seeing more!

As an Early Education School Psychologist, I conduct assessments of children 2-4 years of age in order to determine if they present with any type of disability that may negatively impact their learning. By 3-years of age, children are expected to comprehend and verbally express over 500 words and should be putting together 3 to 4 word sentences when speaking. However, many children that I assess only use approximately 50 words in their vocabulary, so I am constantly urging parents and caregivers to read out loud to their children. The Good Night Tales series is an absolutely wonderful way to increase children’s language exposure. In our busy world of video games and social media, listening to stories read aloud can teach kids comprehension skills, new vocabulary words and overall language skills, and the love for reading. I would strongly recommend this series to parents, educators, preschool teachers, early education centers, and anyone who enjoys listening to stories while viewing beautifully created and age appropriate high quality art.

So just wanted to post this. My son used this app and books for ages 3 to 4. Then we moved on towards another app. It kinda got deleted due no new material he got tired of the books. He is currently is 5 yr. last night he asked to do good night tales. So figuring he would get tired from book right away. Great news he watched the entire book and got sleepy towards the end. By the post credits where they show the toys and with the soft music he feel asleep within 5 min. Incredible he hasn’t done that in about 1 year now. Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful product your provided. As soon as you finish the Ella the elephant we will definitely download it. Thanks so much.

Adorable art, stunning quality, and beautifully narrated! A Wonderful way to share a bedtime story with your little ones; especially great if you are getting older siblings to bed, cleaning up toys, or simply snuggling in with them! Can’t wait to add more of these stories to our collection!!
