Piccolo picture books can be used in various ways. Parents can read to their children in the traditional manner. Toddlers and preschoolers can also use the read-aloud function themselves, for instance in the car. Very simple and intuitive use, suitable for kids 2-years and up. Using the ‘learn-to-read’ function the highlighted text helps beginning readers make associations between the words they hear and see.

Piccolo apps are a sensible and entertaining alternative to movies and games. At home or on-the-go – always a picture book on hand. De story is told using the pictures and text from the book, adding sounds and interactive elements.
