Jack and the Beanstalk, A Playdate with Rosie and Ricky, Three Little Pigs
Readyland is a library of printed books that come to life with innovative voice technology, creating a whole new category – Alexa Interactive Books – where screen-free reading meets audio entertainment. Using an Alexa-enabled device at home or the Alexa smartphone app, kids explore books in a new way with engaging dialogues and interactive games revealed each time they turn a page.
- The ability to talk to the book’s characters. Expressive character voices engage in dialogues with the reader and play games such as I Spy and Name that Tune. The characters listen and respond to the reader’s voice, giving kids control of their experience.
- New surprises every time. With hundreds of recorded phrases in each book, the reader’s responses and choices create new ways to explore each storyline and activity. For example, in Jack and the Beanstalk, the reader’s choice to create the magic spell on one page will change the story outcome on later pages. These surprises keep kids coming back again and again.
- Screen-free, interactive fun. The books are highly interactive, with no screen required! The stories are brought to life, bursting with surprises, sound effects, and songs to delight young readers and take their attention away from screens and into the books.
- Encourage literacy and comprehension. Readyland books make reading more fun, encouraging children to read, listen and respond. Engagement with storylines helps develop important language and comprehension skills.
