Ok parents we have released a Facebook application just for you. Sam’s Fish Bowl allows you to become the caregiver of a super-unique fish. Your fish is alive and well and lives everyday on Facebook. He will require special care and feeding from both you and your friends, and will certainly become a beloved member of the family.

Each time you feed your fish you will earn Super Feeder Points. These points can be shared with your child’s Super Reader Points within Sam’s Interactive Reader. We think you’ll like this casual game and it also helps us spread the word about Storybook Anytime through everyone’s social network on Facebook. Thank you for your support!

Storybook Anytime is pleased to announce the long awaited release of our first Spanish translated stories! After six long months, we finally have the Spanish translations complete, and available for purchase and download. It has been a goal of Storybook Anytime since the beginning, to offer our stories in Spanish, so we are very proud to have finally reached this point.

We really believe that this will not only be an asset to the Spanish speaking community at large but can also be used by English speaking families as a way to expose their children to a new language in a fun and familiar way. We are also excited to have it available as an additional tool to the English as a Second Language programs in schools all across the country.

We will be adding more Spanish stories in the coming weeks so enjoy and stay tuned!

We have recently created a fan page for Storybook Anytime on facebook. Help us spread the word to all your friends and become a fan of Storybook Anytime today! Thanks for your support.

We are happy to announce the release of Sam’s Interactive Reader version 1.2. In this release we have addressed a few minor bug fixes, along with adding support for our School Rewards program. In addition, we have placed a free story and activity inside Sam’s Room automatically. This will allow new users to instantly start enjoying the program without having to visit the Online Store first.

Free Activity: Sam’s Memory Game

With this release we have added our first free activity. Sam’s Memory Game will allow children to play both easy and hard levels of a card match game. The easy level consists of three rounds in which you can earn Super Reader Points for each round successfully completed. The hard level will require you to beat the clock and for every second you have to spare, you will earn Super Reader Points.

School Rewards Program

We provide our entire library free of charge to pre-schools, libraries and elementary schools. We simply ask that these facilities give us their support by displaying our promotional materials in a prominent place as well as distributing them to parents and students. In addition, we will be introducing various reward programs that allow the school to benefit from purchases made by Storybook Anytime customers who are affiliated with their school. If you are interested in having your school participate you can read more details at the Schools Page of our web site.

Later this week we will be shipping version 1.2 of Sam’s Interactive reader. We are very excited about this incremental milestone on our product roadmap. For everyone who has already downloaded the product, it will update automatically so need to worry about how this upgrade will be delivered. The update will include some foundational enhancements as well as the inclusion of our first free memory game activity.

Speaking of roadmaps, as we approach the holiday season, we are working diligently on improving our product and we anticipate several new updates between now and that time. Soon we will be adding Spanish language stories to our inventory as well as introducing more interactive features. We will be releasing more details about this and our product roadmap in the near future.
