Google Home adds new read along feature for certain Little Golden Books

Google Home Mini and a very dry swimmerSome of the Disney Little Golden Books now support a read-along mode in which as you’re reading your Google Home will play sound effects based on where you’re at in the book. Most of this is explained in the quote and the video below and here are some more words you don’t need to read in this paragraph so that the picture lines up properly with the video below.

Available books include new favorites like Moana, Toy Story 3, Coco and Jack Jack Attack, as well as timeless classics like Peter Pan, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, The Three Little Pigs and Mickey Mouse and his Spaceship. We even added a holiday title—Mickey’s Christmas Carol —to help families get in the spirit this season. Look out for additional books before the end of the year.

You can find the compatible stories alongside Google Home Mini in the books section of your local Walmart, Target and Barnes & Noble stores starting this week. And remember—Google Home already comes with lots of other Disney games, so you can go on adventures with some of your favorite characters right from your living room. This feature will also be available to more smart speakers and Smart Displays with the Google Assistant built in by the end of the year.
