In full disclosure I was provided with a 6 month subscription to Farfaria to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Jack loves any opportunity to go to the library and each week when we visit we come home with a large pile of books. He picks out so many that I end up bringing a bag back and forth every time we visit. He loves picking out new books to read and picking up old favorites. Bringing Jack to the library is one of my favorite activities because I’m always excited to see what books he picks out.
I was recently asked to review the FarFaria app, a storybook app that gives subscribers access to unlimited reading of hundreds of high quality children’s books. Farfaria is geared to kids ages 2-9. Five new and engaging stories are added to the library every week. It is like having our own virtual library at our finger tips. Any time can be library time with the Farfaria app.

I love this concept because it allows us to take story time anywhere we go without taking along a bunch of books. This is especially great for traveling when I like to keep our bedtime routine as close to our routine at home as possible. On most trips I would have to pack a few books to get us through vacation but with the Farfaria app I can access hundreds of stories without having to pack anything additional.

This sounds like such a great resource. Ds6 could have used it this summer when he couldn't swim thanks to a broken arm.
