Storyboat: Kids Bedtime Books

Storyboat brings bedtime books to life with a picture on every page. Read aloud to your child or press play for warm narration. Made for children ages 3 to 8, these picture books with audio let your family enjoy bedtime stories together and follow the highlighted words.

Discover short stories for kids about friendship, kindness, sharing and courage. Our audio stories for kids bring pictures, words and narration together in illustrated storybooks.

Bedtime books for kids

Meet a bear who bakes, a dragon with a problem and little heroes on big adventures. Each of our storybooks tells an original tale, with something to discover along the way and an ending that brings the day to a gentle close. Choose bedtime stories together and make reading part of your nightly routine.

Picture books that read aloud

Press play and a narrator reads each sentence while the pages turn automatically. Every word lights up as it is spoken, helping your child follow along. These audio stories keep the text and illustrations together on screen. Turn off the narration whenever you want to read aloud yourself.

Short stories that fit your evening

Most stories run about four to six minutes with narration, so one fits even a late bedtime. Take your time with a favorite page, talk about the characters or hear the same adventure again tomorrow. A bedtime story app should leave room for those little moments together.

Sleep stories with a quiet finish

Enjoy soothing bedtime stories without ads, an endless feed or another story starting by itself. Our sleep stories end on their last page. After The End, let the music play for the time you choose, then fade out as the screen goes to sleep.

Make story time your own

Adjust the text size and choose a reading font that feels comfortable for your child. Gentle background music has its own volume control, so you can turn it down or off. Enjoy the audio stories with your child, or read aloud together at your own pace.

A growing library of storybooks

Try Bramble's Bakery, The Lost Kite, The Star in the Jam Jar, The Dragon of Butterscotch Hill and more. New short stories are added regularly, giving your family more picture books to explore and familiar characters to return to.

From animal adventures to gentle sleep stories, find a book for tonight's quiet time. Stories and narration are in English. Plans and settings ask a grown-up to answer a question first.
