“We’re very excited to team up with Yoplait Kids and offer parents and their children free access to six of the most fun and entertaining titles in our vast library of classic tales and new adventures,” said Woody Sears, co-Founder of iStoryTime. “Our goal is to offer exciting titles that make storytime enjoyable for the entire family and we believe this new partnership reinforces this message.”
iStoryTime brings the joy of a kids' book to the convenience of the iPhone, iPad and iPod® touch. iStoryTime books are illustrated and narrated, so children can enjoy the book even when parents are busy. Best of all, the apps are simple to use because they are designed for kids two-years and up. Pages can be turned automatically or manually depending on the age and preference of the user. And readers can choose the style of narration — an adult voice, child voice or none at all.
