Custom, not chaotic
A custom kids story at SlumberTales is a finished bedtime tale built from a small brief — first name, age, and a world you already love — that a parent reads aloud. You do not have to invent the plot on a Wednesday night.
SlumberTales costs $9.99 a month for 12 stories, $14.99 a month for 20 stories, or $19.99 a month for 30 stories per child — not unlimited. Your first personalized story is free. Cancel anytime. After that first story, start a plan: $4.99 for your first month, then your plan's regular monthly price. Parents read the story aloud. Audio coming soon. For now, read the story together. Audio narration is off, so this is not an app a child presses play on.

You choose the child’s first name, age, a favorite color, and a world such as forest, sea, stars, dragons, or a tiny garden. You may add friends, pets, and — on Plus and Premium — a toy companion.
We write a complete bedtime story in that frame. We email the full text to the parent account. You read it. The Magic Library keeps it. Plus and Premium can gather stories into a keepsake PDF after enough nights. Starter does not include that compilation.
Custom does not mean you become the novelist. It means the hero is yours and the evening still ends on time.
A grandparent or a friend can buy a gift at https://slumbertales.app/gift. Checkout charges the giver and emails a redeem code. The parent activates the months. A gift is a subscription with the same kind of monthly cap — 12, 20, or 30 — not a mystery box and not an unlimited vault.
The sample is a finished custom-style tale. Put the name in. Read it. If the voice fits, sign in and claim the first generated story.
After that first story, the only honest next step is a plan at $4.99 for the first month. We will not hide a second free forever, and we will not call a cap unlimited.
