Read aloud to youEvery book can be read aloud by our storyteller at the tap of a button, so little ones can enjoy stories even before they can read.
Hear Granny read itGrandparents and parents can record a book in their own voice. Children choose "Read by Granny" and hear them, wherever they live. Family voices
Words light up as they are readEach word glows as the storyteller reads it, so children follow along and start to recognise words on their own.
Tap a word to learn itTap a tricky word and a simple, child-friendly meaning pops up, with the sentence it came from.
Bedtime sleep timerLet the story stop by itself after this book, or after 15 or 30 minutes, so bedtime stays calm.
Night and Paper pagesSoft Night and Paper pages are gentle on tired eyes, with black and white pictures if you like.
Easy-read lettersSwitch the words to clear, easy-read letters designed to help young readers see each word.
Stories you will not find anywhere elseEvery book was written and illustrated for My Book Hub. Nothing is copied from another publisher.
Checked by a real personA person reads every page and looks at every picture before a book is published. Anything not right for children is sent back.

Animated booksGentle moving scenes in every book, not just a few.

Maximum-quality picturesEvery page in the highest resolution, sharp on any screen.

More narrator voicesTwo more female voices and a male voice. Choose one for each book, or set the one you like best as your default.

Members make it happenMemberships pay for the upgrade. The more families join, the sooner it arrives.

Bigger or smaller text from the same Aa button
Reading at bedtime? Night gives you a warm dark page instead

The dragon gave a sleepy yawn and curled up on the last page. "One more story," whispered Mia, "and then it's time for bed."
