LanternTales
A cozy bedtime story you help tell — for ages 3–5. Tap the lantern and listen: a sleepy star, a firefly flying home, the Moon making a blanket. At each turn YOU choose what happens next with a big picture button — no reading needed, the story reads itself aloud. Every path ends softly. No score, no rush, no autoplay. On-device, no accounts.
