## What is TinyTales?

TinyTales recommends the right books for your child — not just by age, but by where they are in their development. As your child grows, so do the recommendations.

Scan any book's barcode to instantly add it to your child's library. TinyTales identifies it, pulls the cover art, and fits it into your shelf.

Set milestones that matter to you — language, curiosity, empathy, social skills — and TinyTales surfaces books that match. When your child has grown past a milestone, the recommendations move forward too.

KEY FEATURES
• Smart recommendations tuned to your child's age and developmental milestones
• Barcode scanner — point at any book's ISBN and it's added instantly
• Personal library to track books you own, borrowed, or want next
• Milestone tracking across reading, language, social, and emotional growth
• Discover tab updated as your child's profile evolves
• 100% private — all data stays on your device, no tracking, no ads

PERFECT FOR
Parents of children ages 0–6 who want more than a random book list. TinyTales learns what your child has, where they are developmentally, and recommends what to read next.
