Fifty illustrated storybooks that put two languages on the same page — and read every word aloud, one word at a time. Mighty Little Monkey retells Journey to the West, the classic Chinese epic, as 50 original picture books. Pick any two of twelve languages and both appear together on every page, so a reader who knows one can follow the other. It works as well for an adult studying any of them as for a five-year-old learning to read. TWO LANGUAGES, ONE STORY Choose your pair on the cover and change it whenever you like. Both languages sit on the same page, line by line, so the meaning is always within reach — no dictionary, no switching back and forth. Chinese pages show pinyin above the characters. EVERY WORD, READ ALOUD Tap play and the narration begins, highlighting each word exactly as it is spoken. A child who cannot yet read follows along by ear and eye together. Four narrator voices, and four speeds from slow to very fast, so the pace fits the reader rather than the other way round. GROWS WITH YOUR READER Every book has two reading levels. Easy keeps sentences short for a beginner; Advanced tells the same story at length, with richer vocabulary. The same fifty books stay useful for years instead of being outgrown in a season. FOLLOW THE JOURNEY WEST Fifty stories across five seasons, from the stone monkey's birth to the journey's end. An illustrated map traces the whole route — tap any place to open the story that happens there, and watch gold stars appear as your reader finishes each one. MORE THAN READING After the last page: a comprehension quiz, a Word Match game built from the words just read, and trophies to earn. Printable coloring and activity packs bring the stories off the screen and onto the kitchen table. TWELVE LANGUAGES English · 简体中文 · 繁體中文 · Español · Français · Português · Deutsch · 日本語 · 한국어 · العربية · Русский · हिन्दी Any two at once, in any combination. START FREE The first book is free in every language, with full narration — read it end to end before deciding anything. Unlock a single season, or all five at once with All Access. MADE FOR FAMILIES No advertising. No accounts, no sign-in, no profile to create. No third-party tracking or analytics. Purchases and links sit behind an adult gate, and one-time purchases give unlimited access — nothing subscribes, nothing renews, and you are never charged again for a book you have already unlocked. Works on iPhone and iPad, in landscape, the way a picture book is meant to be held.
