Bookaroo! Share Kids Stories

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Bookaroo! Share Kids Stories is a subscription-based digital library that allows kids and other family members to record their voices reading stories. All the digital picture books are original works made for the app and span a range of early reading levels. Parents may want to preview stories before sharing with their kids. Though there's nothing of major concern, some parents may find some stories not quite right for their kids, such as the story about the black widow spider who eats her "husband." There's also a story about poop. Parents must provide an email address and create an account to access the app. None of the app's content is available without a subscription. Users can record stories with multiple people -- such as far away relatives -- though anyone recording on a separate device will also need their own subscription. Read the developer's privacy policy for details on how your (or your kids') information is collected, used, and shared and any choices you may have in the matter, and note that privacy policies and terms of service frequently change.
