I am excited to share another fantastic PlayTales ebook with you. We have reviewed several PlayTales stories recently, and I can once again say with certainty that the PlayTales app is one of the most worthwhile digital investments you can make. The interactive stories are diverse and appropriate for a range of ages, and they are constantly releasing new ones.

Teha el Viento is a beautiful story about a wind girl who lives in the clouds and loves to practice flying around with her winged friends.

She comes across Little Leaf, who desperately wants to fly but can’t because he is stuck to the branch and doesn’t have wings. Together, they have to figure out how he can make it happen. Eventually, they figure out that the only way is to go along with nature and “fly” like a leaf…by drifting on the wind.

Teha el Viento is available in English, Spanish, and German. Access it as a story on your bookshelf within the PlayTales app or purchase it as a separate app.

Find Teha el Viento in iTunes, Google Play, and Nook store

Available for iPhone, iPad, Android, and Nook

Recommended for ages 3-10

Price: Free with PlayTales Gold! subscription  OR   $0.99 (Android and Nook); $1.99 (Apple)

The first is La Fiesta de Halloween ($3.99), a great story about vampires, monsters, spiders, and more getting ready to have a Halloween party at a haunted house. The ghosts provide the tunes and the skeletons dance.

In La aprendiz de bruja ($1.99), a young girl is learning what it takes to become a witch. She mixes up potions and learns to fly on a broomstick. She practices spells on her cat and accidentally turns him into all kinds of odd things.

Lastly, Cazavampiros ($2.99) is a story about hunting for a vampiress in a creepy castle. It’s fun to search each room for clues and finally find the girl who’s guilty of stealing candies.

As with all PlayTales books, these Halloween stories are interactive and you can choose to read them yourself or have them read aloud. PlayTales offers options for ages 1-12, but these Halloween stories are appropriate for ages 4 and up.

All titles can be downloaded through the PlayTales app for the individual prices listed above, or through PlayTales Gold! app with a monthly, semi-annual, or annual subscription. PlayTales is available for Apple and Android.

NOTE: To find Spanish titles, go to “Store,” change language to español, then perform a search.

PlayTales Gold! is my favorite kind of app. It offers endless entertainment and bonding opportunities for kids and parents. PlayTales Gold is an interactive library with a wide selection of kids’ stories, games, songs, and personalizing options.

Sesame Street is also one of my favorite classic kids’ shows because of its wide array of characters and its integration of Spanish.

Now these two great educational offerings are coming together. PlayTales has teamed up with Sesame Workshop to bring us four new multilingual ebooks. Your kids can read fun titles such as Elmo Loves You! in English, Spanish, German, and Italian.

This partnership truly reinforces the global reach of Sesame Street programming and gives us yet another way to make learning in English and Spanish more exciting for our Spanglish speakers.

All of PlayTales’s books download quickly and remain saved in your library, and each has “Read to Me” and “Auto Play” options in case you don’t want to read it yourself. New titles are added every week, which is especially useful for kids whose reading levels are rising and whose homework includes nightly reading. Apps like this save us from having to spend a fortune updating our home library!

PlayTales Gold offers several different subscription options: monthly for $4.99, semi-annual for $9.99, or annual for $19.99.

Find PlayTales Gold! in iTunes and Google Play

Available for iPad, iPhone, and Android

Recommended for ages 1-12
