About Mimi's Rainy Breakfast

Mimi the fox wakes by a glowing window and ticking clock, brushes at the sink, and sets out a little breakfast. When a light shower begins, she adds her coat, umbrella, and boots. On the back step, Mimi waters the flowerpot and enjoys a calm meal.

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.

Want to practise a specific sound instead? Open Practice in the story toolbar and pick any of the 26 sound decks — Buddy brings five cards from it into this story, without leaving the page.

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.
