The free app and the five free ebook downloads are the perfect supplementary tools to enhance your child’s learning experience. Storia also offers more than 2,000 titles for kids from toddlers through teens, about 350 of which are enriched with vocabulary, comprehension, and video activities.

The Storia app can be downloaded free to PC, iPad, or Android tablets (with more platforms to come later this fall) to start a digital library for home or classroom use, and comes with five free ebooks, including a special Clifford the Big Red Dog ebook in honor of his Big Red 50th birthday this year.

Storia has been recognized by Warren Buckleitner with the "Editor's Choice Award" as the top children's ebook app in Children's Technology Review, and named one of the "Top 10 Best High Tech Products of 2012" by Dr. Toy.
