Who is Storybook Anytime?

Founded in 2007, Storybook Anytime is a privately owned company on a mission to improve the education and literacy of young children through entertaining and diverse interactive media. This mission is manifested in our products' unique blend of entertainment value and educational nuances that we call "Edu-tainment."

Our flagship product, "Sam's Interactive Reader," is an Adobe® Air™ application that introduces the fun of reading and learning to children ages 3-9. The product allows full access to our online library of originally written and illustrated children's stories as well as activities and games. Much of the content in our store is available exclusively through Sam's Interactive Reader, and new items are being added regularly. As an added feature, you can find most of our stories in both English and Spanish.

For parents, we have created the Facebook® application "Sam's Fish Bowl." It allows you and your friends to adopt and care for a virtual fish. You can customize your fish and decorate its fish bowl to show off your distinct personality. The experience can be shared with your friends as you help each other care for your fish. The ever-evolving game allows you to earn points that can be shared with your children through "Sam's Interactive Reader."
