Little Stories that talk back
Fully narrated interactive stories where every scene hides real words to find, hear, and say out loud. Switch the narration between word, phrase, and sentence level while you read — and Buddy the rabbit reacts to every discovery.
Buddy's Beach Day
Join Buddy from sunrise to sleepy sunset on one perfect beach day: pack the car, build a sandcastle, meet a curious seal, dance in the rain, and ride home under a rainbow sky.

Buddy's Beach Day is the first story in a growing library. New narrated adventures with tappable talking words are being illustrated now.
How story reading becomes speech practice
Tap to talk
Two glowing spots hide in every scene. Tap one and the object pops up, shows its word, and says it out loud — then it's the child's turn to say it back.
One story, three levels
The level dial rewrites and re-voices the narration live: single words for early talkers, short phrases, or rich full sentences for older kids.
Made for sessions too
Therapist mode mutes the narration and lays out each scene's target words with their speech-sound tags, so clinicians can model and elicit every word.
Questions parents and SLPs ask
Are the Buddy stories free?
Yes. Buddy’s Beach Day is free to read start to finish in your browser, with no login and nothing locked mid-story.
What makes these stories interactive?
Every scene is narrated out loud and hides two tappable speaking words — tap the picture and it says its word. Narration comes in three language levels you can switch live, and Buddy reacts to what your child finds.
Is there a mode for speech-language pathologists?
Yes. Therapist mode mutes the narration by default and shows a target-word strip for the current scene, with the speech-sound tags for each word, so a clinician can model and elicit the words themselves.
Does the story work on phones and tablets?
Yes. The story player is built mobile-first and works on phones, tablets, and desktop computers in any modern browser, with fullscreen reading, tap or arrow-key page turns, and nothing to install.
