We started StoryTruck with a very simple idea. Our idea was to make it very easy for parents to find high quality children's books without breaking their bank. After a lot of brainstorming we felt digital was the right way to go. We are glad we did so because with more mobile devices and better Internet connections, we are able to reach many corners in India where it would not be cost effective to setup a library. We also have given an opportunity for the Indian diaspora in the middle east, Singapore, France, UK, USA and every country in between an opportunity to stay connected with our culture and language. We receive several fan mails from many of you regularly but being voted #1 has truly brought in an additional adrenaline rush inspiring and compelling us to work harder.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What's the best way to teach something to a child? Tell a story! Storytelling is a powerful medium by which complex matters can be conveyed with simplicity. Panchatantra tales is a collection of such stories that help children differentiate the right from wrong, define honesty, loyalty, kindness, meanness, friendship and various other traits. Our new Panchatantra titles are richly illustrated and soothingly narrated to help retain the attention of our young listeners. It's <a href="http://www.storytruck.com/browse/new_books" target="_blank">free to sample the first four pages</a> of any book either on the website or within the app. Just tap on the book or the yellow headphone icon in the book!

Who doesn't love stories from Panchatantra? Children love them because the stories are short and cute while adults love them because there is moral in every story. While reading these stories you can't help but notice that these morals and lessons apply to our everyday lives. Ever wondered how these tales came into existence? Well, there are many variations on this story too but the most popular one says that a king in southern part of India was very disappointed with his three sons. The king thought that his sons were not smart enough and they would bring him dishonor. His ministers one day suggested that the king should send his sons to be trained by a well known scholar, Vishnu Sharma. The king soon summoned Vishnu Sharma and requested him to educate and train his three sons and turn them into great scholars. Vishnu Sharma took up the challenge and used the storytelling medium to educate and impart wisdom in his disciples. These stories are popularly called as Panchatantra today.<br />

It's been a great year for StoryTruck. We released our iPad app in April and moved out of beta in June. Since then we have received a very positive response from all of you and it has only encouraged us to expand further. We are excited with what's in store for 2014 and here are some highlights of what's coming:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Android version of the app</li>
<li>Desktop version of the app</li>
<li>iPhone version of the app</li>
<li>More content from well known publishers</li>
<li>More ways to share and give</li>
</ul>
<div>
We hope to bring you a lot more in 2014! We hope you'll stay with us and enjoy the ride. Have a wonderful 2014!</div>

entire library, each story has something new to explore and ponder over for
your little ones.

a bilingual package of English-Hindi, English-Kannada and English-Tamil.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">Getting
your children interested in books is undoubtedly your biggest wish as a parent. Perhaps, one of the prime benefits of reading storybooks to preschoolers and
toddlers is to get them prepared for Kindergarten. Another prime benefit is that it triggers the visualization and
imagination regions of their brain. Researches argue that reading storybooks to
children will enable them to cultivate a reading habit and make them a lifelong
reader. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">Reading
storybooks to children is a great social experience too. In fact it is one of
the most compelling reasons to read stories to your children. It makes them
familiar with the books and enhances their creative abilities. The U.S Education
Foundation is of the view that children love voices of their parents and listen
carefully to whatever is read to them.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">One can help
the child learn at a very early stage by reading books not only at bedtime but
whenever there is an opportunity – while traveling, while waiting at the
airport or sitting in a garden. Stories not only help in developing a language
but also in building a context of various things around them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">It is
equally important to not stop reading stories to your child even if they start
reading on their own. It is also important to keep in mind the age of your
child while trying to pick a story for them as complex stories can confuse them.
<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">It all
sounds a bit utopian and idealistic but it is an undeniable fact that most
parents have busy schedules. Try reading to your child during bedtime and
cultivate a habit. Even reading ten minutes a day will help your child develop critical
skills for their life, have a lasting impact on your child’s mind and you will
enjoy a great and friendly relationship with them.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

We are excited to bring you new titles in English, Hindi, Tamil and Kannada. These new books are from our Moral Stories series. These stories help the kids differentiate the good from evil, right from wrong and needs versus wants. Take the story of <a href="http://www.storytruck.com/browse/bookdetail/404">The King and The Apple</a>. This story <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">teaches us that the most priceless gifts are not those that are expensive or fancy but those that come from the heart. Similarly, in the story, <a href="http://www.storytruck.com/browse/bookdetail/406">The Three Best Things</a>, it forces you to think and acknowledge that the three best things are those that you seldom recognize. We have added a total of thirty books - ten titles in three different languages. As usual, these books come with excellent illustration and voice overs. If you have already subscribed, you can simply download them to your library. We hope you'll enjoy these great titles.</span><br />

There is a lot of research to show the positive effects of early reading. Teachers and educators constantly encourage children to read more and more. A few years ago, when my kids were six and one, we were in the same boat. Today, my younger son, who is seven can finish two or three books in a day. My older one who is 12 can't go to bed without reading a book. Our Saturday breakfast is now incomplete without a newspaper on the dining table. We don't read away individually and munch on a bagel or slurp our noodles. Instead, our kids enjoy discussing the comic strips and bits of news from the front page. I enjoy reading the neighborhood news and garden tips while my wife is browsing through arts and entertainment.<br />
<br />
It's hard to pick a single thing that caused this change and I credit most of it to our shift in attitude. When my kids were young, we didn't subscribe to a newspaper because there was no time to read one. But when my parents visited us, we subscribed so that they could keep themselves busy. After they left, I decided to continue my subscription with the weekend only edition. Sure enough there was no one reading it for a long time. Some days, the paper made its way directly into the recycle bin. While my wife was a little irritated with the pileup of unread newspapers and waste of money, I stayed with the conviction that our money was being put to good use. I thought that it was important to surround yourself with enough reading material to cultivate a reading habit. If you don't have anything to read, you are probably not going to start reading. But, if you have plenty of stuff lying around and you are bored, you'll eventually start reading. I also started leading by example. I would make a determined effort to bring the newspaper on the table at breakfast time and read comic strips to my kids. It takes a little bit of time to grasp the jokes and the characters in the comic. Once they are hooked on to it, there is no going back. I also read them about important news items, tidbits and facts from the newspaper. After a while, both my kids were hooked onto comics. I left the paper for a whole week on the table and every time my kids ate at the table, they would flip the pages. My older son slowly began reading news articles. Now, I subscribe to two or three magazines and leave it on the dining table.<br />
<br />
Newspapers were not the only ones they were introduced to. We constantly visited libraries and checked out a bag full of books. We reduced their TV time and rewarded them for reading. We made sure to bring material that suits their reading level. They lose interest if the material is too hard to grasp or not challenging enough. As they started to grow older, they cherished reading. They still love to watch TV or play games but if those two options are not available, they are hooked onto books.<br />

Hurray! Our library is continuing to grow. We added twenty new tamil books to the library. We have added stories from Hitopadesha and Aesops.<br />
<br />
Hitopadesha tales are old Sanskrit fables that were written to teach young princes the philosophy of life and grow into responsible adults. These stories were popular then and now. They help teach our children the moral values and differentiate good fro evil. We have handpicked the best illustrated books, and added them to our library with excellent voice overs. Like all other books in our library, these books are bilingual and can be either read of listened to.<br />
<br />
Like Hitopadesha, Aesop's fables comes from Greek. A number of these stories are credited to a Greek storyteller called Aesop. He used a number of animals and inanimate characters in his stories to create wonderful stories that illustrate the effects of greed, kindness and other virtues in our lives.<br />
