For a moment, Hare could only stare. Then he burst into a laugh so loud that it echoed through the trees.

“You think you can beat me? Ha-ha! What a day! But very well, Tortoise—we’ll do it your way.”

Fox happened to be passing by and heard the challenge. He quickly agreed to be the judge and led the racers to the starting line.

“Side by side now, toe to toe. Ready, set—and off you go!”

Good to know before you begin

Is Fablemancer an audiobook?

You read aloud yourself. Fablemancer adds pictures, music, ambient sounds and sound effects that follow your marker in the text. The app does not need to listen to your voice and does not use a microphone.

Do I have to follow every word with my finger?

No. With Magic Trace, you can keep your thumb near the right edge of the text area and move the marker across the whole line with a short slide. Release at the edge to move to the next line.

What ages is Fablemancer for?

Fablemancer is for families with children up to around 12. Choose a book based on your child’s age and interests – you’ll find age suggestions in the library. You can keep reading together even after your child starts reading independently.

Do I need to install an app?

No. Fablemancer works in the browser on phones, tablets and computers. You need an internet connection to read and play the story’s sounds.

Can I adjust the sound?

Yes. With a free account, you can adjust music, ambient sounds and sound effects in the audio settings. This includes the free book.

What about screen time?

Fablemancer offers digital books, so the screen is part of the experience. Here, you use it to read a story together, with you as the storyteller. Try the free book and see whether it suits your story times.
