Reading stories together
1. Predict the choice
Before you pick a path, ask: what might happen next? How might the animal feel? There is no wrong guess.
2. Read it twice
Try a different choice on the second read. Comparing endings helps children see how actions change a story.
3. Connect to real animals
After a story, open the animal's profile to see which parts are true facts and which are make-believe.
Stories can be read aloud by the device with sentence highlighting. Animals talk in these stories, but real animals communicate in their own ways.

Do animals really talk and think like the characters in stories?
No. Story animals speak so we can imagine their point of view. Real animals communicate with sounds, body language and smells, and many feel things like fear and comfort. Good stories mix true animal behaviour with make-believe.
1. Read or listen to a story
Enjoy it first. Notice which animal is the main character and what it needs.
2. Spot the true parts
Look for real behaviour, such as penguins huddling for warmth or foxes pouncing in snow.
3. Spot the pretend parts
Find things real animals cannot do, such as speaking words or reading signs. Both parts make the story work.
