Pocket Tales - Adventures in Reading

We've always liked books but reading them just wasn't enough. We wanted there to be more things happening. We wanted to discuss books, share them, and get at the ideas they contained - so we created Pocket Tales.

Pocket Tales turns reading books into a game for kids and their friends. It’s a remarkable way for kids to engage with books, discover their next read, and send and receive book recommendations.
