Wise Tales is a quiet little library of illustrated folk tales from around the world, told one sentence at a time. Tap a story, dim the lights, and let the words come to life.
Press play and Wise Tales reads the tale aloud. Every word lights up as it is spoken, so a child who is still learning to read can follow right along — and tapping any sentence sends the narration back to it. Choose a gentle pace (Cosy, Calm, or Lively), let the pages turn themselves, and lock the screen while the story keeps playing.
Then set the sleep timer. It never cuts a sentence in half: when the time is up, Wise Tales finishes the page and stops softly, so a tale can carry a child all the way into sleep.
50 TALES, HAND-ILLUSTRATED
Momotaro sails for the island of ogres. Anansi bargains with the sky god. The tortoise quietly beats the hare. 50 stories gathered from Japan, Greece, West Africa, India, Bengal, Korea, China, Arabia, Anatolia and Europe — each one painted page by page, and each one short enough for a single bedtime.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• Read-to-me narration that lights up each word as it is spoken

ONE LANGUAGE — YOURS
Wise Tales speaks thirteen languages: English, Japanese, Spanish, French, Bengali, Arabic, Korean, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish and Chinese. Choose the one your family reads in and the whole app follows it — every story, every title, every narrated word. Arabic reads right to left, as it should.
FOR BEDTIME, AND THE QUIET HOURS
• Parents and children reading together at the end of the day
• Early readers following along word by word
• Long car rides, flights and waiting rooms with no signal
• Anyone who wants one short folk tale before sleep
A LITTLE MAGIC TO START
A handful of tales are free to read in full, and the first page of every other story is open to read and to hear. When you are ready for the whole shelf, Wise Tales Plus opens every tale — monthly or yearly, and you can cancel any time. If you bought the one-time unlock earlier, it still opens everything, at no further cost.
No ads. No account, no sign-up. Just stories.
Once upon a time is only a tap away. Open Wise Tales and begin.
Wise Tales Plus is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly, charged to your Apple Account. It renews unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.
