“I knew we really liked these books at home, but having them portable…..that’s great! I am not one to park my child in front of anything as a babysitter, but it was a lifesaver for me in a crunch. She loved it and it was educational.”Sonya, author of Penny Pinching Parent

“I’ve got to tell you this is an awesome idea! What I liked about Mobistories is that, rather than just presenting another movie format, it looks like you are reading a book. They start with a front cover and end with a back cover. The “pages” are turned, so it looks like reading a book. The words are printed, as well as read aloud. This re-enforces the words for the child who is reading along.”
Julie, author of Mom 2 Ways

“With such a digital world being prominent in our children’s lives, it is sometimes difficult to have them stop a minute to read a book. My husband and I have had story time before bed with our little ones since they were born. However, I have noticed that my little guy enjoys the computer and technology, so MobiStories seems like the perfect solution to this dilemma.”

And as long as they’re watching, they’re starting to recognize the words that appear on the page as they’re being read to. There’s nothing like edutainment! But, shhh! Don’t tell the kids!
