StoryToys Bookshelf Collection 2.0.1

The collection consolidates all 12 of the classic StoryToys book titles into a single, convenient application, providing a comprehensive digital bookshelf experience. Included are adaptations of well-known stories such as Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, Beauty and the Beast, Jungle Book, Thumbelina, Haunted House, Pirate Princess, and Little Mermaid.

Each narrative is complemented by a themed puzzle pack containing 12 jigsaw puzzles specific to the story. These puzzles feature four levels of difficulty, catering to a wide range of ages and skill levels to ensure suitable challenge and engagement for both children and adults.

Additionally, young users can engage creatively with the integrated 3D sticker books. This feature allows children to assemble scenes using characters, backgrounds, and props from each story. A simple play button animates these custom scenes into lively 3D presentations, enhancing creative interaction.

For example, in The Jungle Book, a young boy learns essential survival skills with help from his friends Baloo the Bear and Bagheera the panther. The retelling of Puss in Boots transports readers into a magical realm where a cunning cat helps his master achieve fortune. Beauty and the Beast narrates the enchanting tale of Belle’s departure from her father and her life with the Beast in an enchanted castle. In The Little Mermaid, readers explore an underwater kingdom as they assist the mermaid in winning her prince’s love in this beautifully adapted story with a happy ending.

Sleeping Beauty recounts the age-old story of a princess cursed to sleep for a hundred years until awakened by true love’s kiss. Rapunzel tells of a princess confined in a tower yearning for freedom and adventure.
