About the application:

Being read to is a magical experience for children, and is a crucial stepping stone for language learning. GLEN Ebooks provides a collection of illustrated children’s story ebooks in English and Spanish, warmly narrated with synchronized text-highlight and with pages being “turned” on the screen. The stories contain famous children's classics, including adaptations of Aesop's fables and Indian folk tales, as well as original stories.
