Amazon and Readyland, a toy development company, have collaborated to let little ones join the action during storytime with the Alexa interactive book Owl & Dragon, A Magical Adventure. The book invites kids to join exciting adventures as they explore new worlds, find their way back home together, and learn a lot of lessons on the way.
Little ones will recognize the familiar characters’ voices that are already available on the Owl and Dragon Echo Dot Kids devices. But with this book, readers can actually talk to the characters and play games.
This exciting story is filled with audio surprises including finding all kinds of curious treasures in Owl’s nest and creating a musical symphony when they choose animal sounds from the creatures living in a pond. Then they can travel through a magical portal to identify shadows from flowers.
Kids will meet a wise old gnome, journey along a maze to find mystical lands, and discover fairy friends to find magical dust in the Fairy Corner. They will then find their voice by encouraging Dragon to light up the dark cavern and help Owl and Dragon find their way home through the glowing tunnel.
“As a company founded on a love of reading, we know the magic really happens when kids transition from learning to read to reading for fun,” says Alanna Nielsen, director of Amazon Kids. “Since we launched Owl and Dragon last year, they’ve become favorite characters for many of our Echo Dot Kids families. What better way to make reading fun than enabling kids to interact directly with the characters they know and love, taking them from device to page, and to a limitless and immersive reading experience.”
Owl & Dragon, A Magical Adventure is available for preorder on Amazon starting today, and books will be shipping next month.
