About this app

Arabian Nights for Kids is a fully-Arabic, right-to-left, offline audio storybook of the most famous One Thousand and One Nights adventures, gently adapted for children. Each tale is narrated aloud and every word lights up in sync as it is spoken (karaoke-style), so children read and listen at the same time.

Features:

- 9 kid-safe tales from Alf Layla wa-Layla (public domain), gently retold in clear Arabic: Aladdin, Ali Baba, Sindbad (two voyages), The Ebony Horse, The Fisherman and the Jinni, Maruf the Cobbler, Judar and his Brothers, and The Merchant and the Jinni.
- Karaoke read-along: each word highlights exactly as it is narrated, using real per-word audio timestamps. Tap a word to jump the narration to it and hear it again.
- Auto page-turn when a page's narration ends, or swipe to turn pages yourself.
- Resume where you left off, and mark favorite tales.
- Magical hand-drawn "lantern night" covers, rendered in code with no network needed.
- Fully Arabic, right-to-left throughout, with a warm night theme.
- Works completely offline: no ads, no purchases, no data collection.

A perfect way to help children grow comfortable reading classical Arabic by listening and following along at the same time.
