StoryCub

StoryCub, the producer of children’s Video Picture Books™ for digital, has announced a new premium option to compliment their already popular free “Story of the Day” available via StoryCub.com and the StoryCub app for iOS and Android. StoryCub “Plus” truly makes “Story-Time, Anytime”, and features on-demand, 24/7 streaming of the Top 100 Video Picture Book titles for only $3.99 per month with a 30-day free trial. Exclusive bonus content is also included. StoryCub, founded in 2012, bridges the gap between the traditional and digital storytelling experience with it’s unique and innovative Video Picture Book platform for kids 0—8 years-old. Each Video Picture Book is read by enthusiastic on-screen talent that really connect with kids, along with the actual illustrations as seen in the book.

Built for today’s families who live in a digital world, StoryCub allows parents a one-stop location where it’s always, Story-Time. Families have responded in droves, as the service has been viewed in over 200 countries and charted Top 5 numerous times in the podcast section of iTunes, beating big name titles from Sesame Street, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. and Disney. StoryCub ‘s Video Picture Book version of the best-selling children’s title “All About Poop” skyrocketed to #1. As a place that supports early childhood education, each Video Picture Book includes a direct message to parents, encouraging them to read with their kids. The company’s founder Dave Swerdlick notes that “StoryCub brings the excitement of the classroom story-time experience, making it available anywhere your are. In the classroom, when a teacher lets students know that it’s Story-Time, they rush over to get the best spot on the floor. Now, the best spot is right in front you,” via iPad, iPhone, Android, and the Storycub.com website.

What I like best is that  StoryCub is different: it features a real person on-screen reading to YOUR child, mixed with the book’s images. Without any advertising messages. I am not a fan of advertising messages for kids. So, if you are looking for something fun for kids ages 0-8, this really is a wonderful app. SoCal City Kids gives it a thumbs up!
