“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

The best part is that pretty much any MobiStory can be viewed by children of any age 2 – 8, as the kids don’t have to be of reading age to enjoy the stories with sound effects and music. 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!
