Frequently asked questions
Are the picture books really free?
Yes. All hundred books in the library are free to read, online or in the app, with no sign-up and no ads.
What age are the books for?
The fairy tales and picture books are written for children aged 2 to 6, to be read aloud. The learn-about books are written so that older siblings and parents learn something too.
Which languages are the books in?
Every book is in Slovenian, English and Slovak. You can switch language on every book page.
How do I create my own picture book?
In the app, choose Create, describe your story and sign in with Google. You read and approve the text first; the illustrations are drawn only after that.
Does the app collect data about my child?
No. Knjigice has no ads and does not track children. Reading history stays on your device.
