The right story for them. None of the work for you.
Every tale is pitched to their age and attention span, woven around what they love (or what they’re quietly learning at school), and sent to your phone, screen-free, at a time you choose. So even on a weekend away with a forgotten book, you’re the parent with the perfect story ready to read.
£9 a month, or £80 a year. Up to two children.
Not another app to manage. Not a shelf of books you’ve read a hundred times. Just a fresh, gentle story that knows your child’s name and the things they love, waiting whenever you need it.
In practice: a three to eight minute story, pitched to their reading level, sent as a WhatsApp message and a PDF at the time you set. That’s it.
Not another app. A daily ritual.
Every other personalised-story app hands your child a screen. Tales by Tuck does the opposite.
One more app to download and manage
It simply arrives, by WhatsApp or email, at the time you choose.
A glowing screen handed to your child
A story you read aloud, snuggled up together.
A robot voice reading it for them
Your voice, their story, no screen for them.
Endless stories on tap, gone in a tap
A new story each day, just for them.
A tale lost inside an app
A keepsake PDF, yours to print and keep.
A story that just fills the time
Gently informative and educational when you want it, with anything not right for their age held firmly back.
Reading aloud sight unseen, hoping it lands
The PDF arrives first, so you can read ahead and scan it before bedtime if you like.
Less screen. More snuggle.
You see it before they do.
Each story arrives by WhatsApp or email at the time you choose, and as a PDF you can read ahead, scan before bedtime, and keep forever.
The Last Olive on the Hill, about a 5 minute read.
A peek at what arrives on your phone.
More than a bedtime story.
You choose when each story arrives, so it fits any moment of the day, not just bedtime. The same gentle tale can settle a long car journey, round off the school run, or wind down the evening.
The gentle wind-down
The classic: a calm, personalised tale that ends soft and sleepy, ready right at bedtime.
Out and about
Long car journeys, waiting rooms, holidays abroad. A story on your phone wherever you are, with no book to pack.
What they’re studying
Tell us what they’re covering at school, from the Romans to the rainforest, and we’ll thread it gently into the story.
Family & friendships
Gentle stories that help them make sense of a new sibling, starting school, sharing, or a wobbly day with a friend.
For the nights with no time, no energy, and no book to hand.
The new highlight of the evening.
“The first time she heard her own name in the story, her whole face lit up. Now it’s the part of bedtime she asks for.”
“Bedtime used to be a battle. Now there’s a calm little ritual we both look forward to.”
“I work late a lot. Having a fresh story ready means I’m never the dad with nothing to read.”
Tuck them in with a tale that’s all their own.
