About this application

Baby Books is an Android application for assembling picture books from material drawn from Wikipedia. A book takes the form of a sequence of pages, each one pairing a picture with a word, which gives the finished result the shape of a naming book: an adult turns the pages while a small child looks at the image and hears or reads the label.

The content is authored by the user rather than shipped fixed, so the vocabulary of a given book reflects the pictures and terms the maker chose to pull in from Wikipedia. That also means the material available depends on what that project holds for a subject, and on network access at the time the pages are put together.

Distribution is limited to Android; no desktop or web edition is recorded for this entry. The app comes from Peter Serwylo and is released under GPL-3.0-or-later, so the source may be read, modified, and redistributed under those terms.
