Kids Books with Audio!
Listen to an audio recording directly from a printed book.
No wi-fi, computer, tablet or phone is required. Instead an audio reader - attached to the front cover and controlled by a push button - allows your child to listen and read along.
How do VOX Books Work?
- Listen to the story through the speaker in the VOX Reader, or plug in headphones.
- Turn the page when you hear the special "turn page" signal.
- Use the buttons on the VOX reader to Play/Pause and adjust the volume.
- VOX Books are checked out fully charged, and get 150 plays on a full charge. If the red light indicates the battery is runny low, the book can be recharged with a standard micro USB charger.

A Fun Addition to Your Child's Reading
Following along in a book while being read to is one of the most important early literacy practices! Children learn which sounds make up words, how books work, and the connection between spoken language and written language. They also develop their vocabulary and thinking skills.
