10 years ago
Children’s Day is special to us. This day is for those special ones for whom our entire team at Pratham Books puts all their efforts into. Every year, we take extra effort to do something special for our young readers and this year is no different. We have a gift … a big gift… a gift of more than 150 free stories!
Pratham Books’ mobile application for android phones was first born in September 2014, coinciding with our annual celebration of International Literacy Day. As a part of the ‘One Day One Story’ event, a few story telling sessions took place via mobile phones, thanks to ‘Takloo – The Little Salt Seller’ making an appearance on our app. Since then, we at Pratham Books and CISCO – our partners for the mobile app – have been working hard to make the app better to give our readers a range of browsing choices. And finally, just in time for Children’s Day, we are ready!
The updated app now boasts of over 150+ books across 6 languages (English, Hindi,Marathi,Kannada,Telugu and Urdu) and 4 reading levels. The app is compatible with over 6500 android devices covering the entire spectrum of android versions. Also, one can read a book and bookmark it for offline reading. To top it all, you can download the app for free 🙂
Stories about children from across the country, friendly animals, snippets from everyday life, wonderful wildlife that exists in a city pond – you will find them all here. Have no doubt, this is the perfect Children’s Day gift for your little ones!
