About Mimi's Muffin Morning

Mimi the mouse wakes to a cool kitchen and helps Grandma whisk muffins, choose a glowing apricot jar, pick mint by the back door, and tuck a breakfast tray under a napkin when Grandpa hums nearby. Soon cups clink at the little table, and the surprise breakfast shines.

Words your child will hear and say

Every scene hides two tappable pictures. Tap one and it says its word out loud, then it is your child's turn.

How to read it together

Start at the right level

Level 1 is single words for early talkers. Level 2 is short phrases. Level 3 is full storybook sentences. Switch any time, even mid-scene — the art stays put and only the language changes.

Let them find the words

Two glowing spots hide in every scene. Tap one, hear the word, then pause and wait — the wait is where your child's turn happens.

Session-ready

Therapist mode mutes the narration and lays out each scene's target words with their speech-sound tags, so a clinician models and elicits every word live.
