Red Ball, Blue Ball — A Colour Sing-Along is a 9-page interactive Smart Book, best for ages 1–2. Every page pairs original story text with a hand-placed scene, so the words and the picture always match. The whole book runs in your browser — there is nothing to install, and your reading position is remembered automatically on this device.
Tap play and each page reads itself aloud, highlighting every word as it is spoken so readers can follow along in real time — the same word-level sync used by professional e-readers, built entirely with your browser's own text-to-speech voice. Prefer to read yourself? Turn narration off and flip pages with the on-screen arrows, a swipe, or the left/right arrow keys.
Many pages include a small interactive moment — count the objects in the scene, tap the right one, or drag a piece into place — with a friendly sound and a character reaction the moment you get it right. These are optional: a page with no activity is still a complete read-along page, so nothing ever blocks the story.
After the first read, Red Ball, Blue Ball is cached on your device and keeps working with no internet connection — handy on a plane, in a car, or anywhere the signal drops. You can also add it to your home screen for a full-screen, app-like reading experience.
Reading progress and settings are stored only in your browser's local storage. Nothing about how you or your child read this book is uploaded anywhere.
