This app is totally cool! I downloaded it in the car and immediately began entertaining my 2yr old with stories that featured him. He loved it! The ability to customize the app allows one to personalize the entertainment experience. A good alternative to pod casts that dont ask anything of the child other than their attention. I like to see digital media expanding a childs iimmagination in this way. The people at Cool Fusion are on to something here and Im excited to explore it with them!

Description
- Shelly, mother of Eloise, discerning 9 y/o reader.
StoryBook is more than just a collection of stories- it actually uses a "Story Engine" which allows you to place you (or your child) in the story, and will never tell the story exactly the same way twice. Think of it as a digital story book that you can read time and time again.
You dont need to be a parent to use StoryBook- Have you ever needed to babysit and wondered how you could keep them entertained? Tap their names into the story and youre good to go!
Children will learn new words every time you read them a story. Genres range from simple "At Home" stories to exciting space adventures. The type of genre you select for your child is of course up to you, but an approximate age range for the genres included would be ages 0-15.
StoryBook is not a picture book; its designed to be read aloud to your child. But just like a real story book, it will entertain them at bedtime or on long trips in the car. It’s all about quality time, and with StoryBook this can be regained; it’s a nice substitute for “Video Parenting”.
Incorporate your child’s favorite things into the story for further customization.
This full version has twelve stories built-in:
- At Home
- At the Park
- At the Beach
- Word Play
- At the Fair
- My Favorite Things
- The Color of Food
- In the Backyard
- The Magic Toy
- Pirate Adventure
- Spy Adventure
- Space Adventure
Heres a sample of a few pages from the "Spy Adventure" story, demonstrating how each reading is different:
-------------------------------------
"How DARE you be so facetious when youre in such a serious predicament!" he barked.
Julie knew when Gus was giving her a signal, and this was one of those moments.
She reached into her suitcase and retrieved the Jam Jammer, flicking it into the on position as she did so.
The screen started to crackle and buzz, and in an instant, Sylars face was gone.
But the cars auto navigation was now also jammed, and as a result it swerved and screeched all over the road!
Julie tossed the Jam Jammer to Gus and desperately tried to regain control.
Julie wrestled with the wheel, almost hit a road safety billboard, then eventually brought the car to a halt, narrowly missing an old lady walking her tiny puppies.
-------------------------------------
- and the next time:
-------------------------------------
"How DARE you be so disrespectful when youre in such a frightful jam!" he barked.
Julie knew when Gus was giving her a signal, and this was one of those moments.
She reached into her suitcase and retrieved the Jam Jammer, flicking it into the on position as she did so.
The screen started to crackle and buzz, and in an instant, Sylars face was gone.
But the cars auto navigation was now also jammed, and as a result it swerved and screeched all over the road!
Julie tossed the Jam Jammer to Gus and frantically tried to regain control.
Julie wrestled with the wheel, almost hit an old lady pushing a pram, then eventually brought the car to a halt, narrowly missing a crowd of schoolchildren on their way to their graduation ceremony.

With each update, I increase the richness of each story, so that even well-worn favorites will have a new life.

Awesome kids app!
Cute Idea...
(but is crashing each time in customization.) I imagine this issue will be fixed soon in an update.
Update please
When can I get an update to continue stories?
Bedtime stories
This application is a sham. It crashes everytime I customize! I have four very disappointed boys. Do not buy!!!
Crash app
Yes, this app crashs a lot, otherwise pretty good idea, if that issue fixed, this app should be good one, also I hope it can save what I customized for next update, please!
Teacher
Terrible! Wish I could get a refund! Only one story with one setting. Entered all the information about the characters and the only change was the main character. There were no other characters in the story! The story was terrible!
