About this app

Sherwood Kids is a wholesome reading and audiobook platform for families who want real books, professional narration, strong parental controls, and a safer place for kids to read and listen.

With one Sherwood subscription, the whole family gets unlimited access to a growing library of more than 5,000 titles, including picture books, early readers, chapter books, middle grade novels, young adult titles, classics, nonfiction, audiobooks, ebooks, and read-alongs.

There are no library waitlists, checkout limits, or book-by-book purchases. Kids can read and listen as much as they want across their own parent-managed profiles.

Sherwood is built around real books from real authors and publishers. Audiobooks feature professional narration where available, giving families a calmer, higher-quality alternative to random videos, noisy feeds, or disposable content.

Every audiobook in Sherwood includes on-screen captions so kids can see the words while they listen. Captions are helpful for young readers, auditory learners, reluctant readers, dyslexic readers, and children who benefit from connecting spoken words with written language.

Sherwood read-alongs go even further. When an audiobook and ebook are paired together, children can view the ebook text while the narration plays, with the current text highlighted in sync. Kids can follow the story line by line or word by word, helping build confidence, fluency, comprehension, and attention.

Parents can create individual child profiles and shape the experience for each reader. Choose what each child can access, build playlists, save favorites, download books for offline reading and listening, and review reading and listening activity by profile. If multiple children enjoy the same book, Sherwood keeps each child’s progress and listening time tied to their own profile.

Sherwood includes:
-Unlimited access for the whole family
-Real books from authors and publishers
-Audiobooks with professional narration
-On-screen captions for every audiobook
-Read-alongs with synced ebook text and narration
-Parent-managed child profiles
-Curated playlists and saved titles
-Offline downloads
-Reading and listening reports by child profile
-A My Books section for adding your own ebooks, audiobooks, PDFs, and music
-Cross-device syncing for your family’s Sherwood account

Sherwood gives parents a cleaner, more intentional reading space for their kids. Children can explore stories with more independence, while parents stay in control of what each child sees and listens to.

Whether your child loves audiobooks, is learning to read, needs extra reading support, or simply needs a trustworthy place to find good stories, Sherwood brings books to life for the whole family.
Wholesome audiobooks, ebooks, and read-alongs for the whole family.

Pretty good app! There are some decent kids stories in there. Campground Kids is a favourite. Unfortunately the 'download CSV' button of family reading and listening history is broken and doesn't work. I'd love for this to actually work.

Truly an answer to prayer. This is a trustworthy selection of books, which I greatly appreciate not having to sift through it all. My favorite is the read alongs for my child to hear the book and easily see which word is being read! Its perfect. My daughter says she loves the app and the speaker made her feel so cool! We also love that we can all listen to our own books on different devices. I hope this stays around and keeps growing.

The app is slightly unresponsive. When navigating from one audio book to another, sometimes the old book will still be selected and will continue to play even though the graphics for the new book are displayed on the screen. Disappointing in that the books seem to be mostly read by AI and so there's a real lack of inflection and natural cadence in the narration. Some of the books are read by seemingly non-professionals too, so those recordings sound like someone reading while half asleep, etc.
