With Zoog, you can. Record yourself reading - playful visual effects applied automatically turn you into the animated hero your child will ask for again and again.\n\nIT STARTS WITH A SPARK\n\nFor the youngest kids, Zoog turns something familiar - your face and your voice - into their very own personalized story. As you read, Zoog's AR transforms you into the characters and shifts the scene around you, so you become the wolf, the princess, the friendly monster, page after page. Your toddler looks up, eyes wide. That is Mom, right there in the story. That is Grandpa. That flash of recognition is where a love of reading is born.\n\nIT GROWS INTO A RITUAL\n\nAs your child gets older, reading together turns into the part of the day you both look forward to. You step into the same story side by side, both of you in costume. This is not a child watching alone. It is the two of you, inside the story together, until they ask you to read it again.\n\nIT BECOMES A HABIT\n\nOne day your child opens Zoog on their own. They pick a story from our ever-growing library, finish a chapter, and reach for the next one, with new stories and worlds always waiting. The child who once needed you to start the story is now the one saying just one more chapter. And they can share every story they finish with the grown-ups who love them, so a parent at work, a grandparent far away, or a military family across an ocean gets to watch their little reader grow. This is the whole point: a child who reads because they want to.\n\nWHY FAMILIES LOVE ZOOG\n\nReading together early is one of the best things you can do for a child's development, and Zoog turns it into the part of the day everyone looks forward to. Rated 4.9 stars by more than 300,000 parents, grandparents, and educators, Zoog makes that closeness possible for any family, whether you are in the next room or across an ocean. Beyond books, the same magic brings songs, lullabies, and video greeting cards to life for birthdays, holidays, and everyday hellos.\n\nWHAT YOU CAN DO IN ZOOG\n- Personalized bedtime stories with AR filters, effects, and music\n- Sing lullabies and favorite children's songs\n- Send video greeting cards starring you - birthdays, holidays, just-because\n- Record once, share to any device, save to your family memory archive\n- Hundreds of books in our ever-growing library, with new titles every week\n- Reactions from your child saved to your Activity feed\n- Reading requests: your child picks the next book they want you to read\n\nTOP TITLES FROM OUR LIBRARY (300+ stories and songs)\n\nClassic stories: Cinderella, Snow White, The Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks, Peter Pan, Peter Rabbit, Pinocchio, The Little Mermaid, The Wizard of Oz, Red Riding Hood, Winnie the Pooh, The Jungle Book, Jack and the Beanstalk, Hansel and Gretel, Hercules, The Frog Prince, The Tortoise and the Hare, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland\n\nSongs and rhymes: Baby Shark, Twinkle Twinkle, Old MacDonald, The Wheels on the Bus, Itsy Bitsy, Humpty Dumpty, Mary Had a Little Lamb, This Old Man, Jingle Bells, Silent Night, Happy Birthday Song, Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, If You're Happy and You Know It, BINGO\n\nPlus DreamWorks Animation: Gabby's Dollhouse.
