WhyPals

Every story event has more than one WHY. Whyatt, Whynn and Whyla each find a different reason — you pick the ones that could be true, add a picture-reason of your own, then rank them: which is MOSTLY why? Then check the story’s biggest clue. Four short stories, read-aloud help, no typing. For ages 6–8. On-device, nothing saved.
