Fantasy stories add a little magic to the everyday world: a talking scarf, a feather made of stone, a planet where lost socks end up. Many of the fantasy stories on Kitapz are rooted in a real place or tradition, so children meet that place while they read with their imagination.
The stories are interactive: the child sets the direction at each choice point and can read again to discover the other endings.
