When to press play
For the nights when listening feels just right
A great read-aloud gives the story personality without rushing it. There is room to follow the pictures, hear the funny voices, and wonder what comes next.
You choose the adventure, and you can read every word before they hear it. The narration keeps an easy pace that leaves room for the pictures, so the story winds down the way bedtime should.
Keep the illustrated book open while it plays, so they can follow the pictures, turn the pages, or curl up and simply listen.

Questions, answered
Questions about narrated stories
How do audio bedtime stories work?
Narration comes with every Storybook and is prepared while the pictures finish. It never costs an extra credit, and your first Storybook is free.
What does the narration sound like?
Expressive and easy to follow, with room for funny moments, quiet moments, and the pictures in front of them. You can open a real example and listen before you make one.
Can I use my own voice?
Not yet. DreamPages narrates every Storybook for you. With Plus, you can direct the style of the narration—and you can always read the book aloud yourself instead.
Can children follow the pictures while listening?
Yes. Narration plays inside the illustrated reader, so the book stays in front of them.
Can we replay narrated stories?
Yes. Every Storybook stays in your Library, ready to play again as many times as they ask.
Are narrated stories parent controlled?
Yes. You can read every word before your child hears it, every story is checked before it reaches your family, and there are no ads between pages—or anywhere else.
