Kakulu brings all-time favourite fairytale stories so your little one and you can bond

• Fairytales illustrated with hand-drawn artwork
• Stories include The Three Little Pigs, Little Red Hen, and more
• No ads, minigames, or hidden popups

If your toddler’s screen time has begun feeling more like a sugar rush than a quiet button, Kakuli may be the reset button you’re looking for. Created by parents for parents, this iOS storybook app offers something rare in today’s digital landscape – calm, beautifully illustrated stories without a single animation or distracting minigame in sight.

Kakulu is built around a simple idea that reading time should feel like reading time. The app includes a handpicked selection of classic fairy tales like The Ugly Duckling, Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, and Jack and the Beanstalk, all told in gentle, age-appropriate language for kids two and up. 

Each tale in the Kakulu library is paired with original artwork, created entirely by hand. The visual style is warm and timeless, which makes the whole experience feel like flipping through an heirloom picture book. There’s also an optional, low-key soundtrack you can toggle on or off depending on how your child likes to settle in.

While the app is perfect for bedtime, it’s also great on the go. Everything is downloadable, so you can keep your little one entertained without an internet connection, ideal for quiet car rides or waiting room distractions.
