We’ve also included a cover made to last, with magnets that close the cover securely and a durable exterior that protects it from scratches. Just like a book, it opens and closes to wake Kindle Kids or put it to sleep, and it is available in a range of kid-friendly designs.
1: What is the Parent Dashboard?
Parent Dashboard allows parents to get the most out of Kindle Kids. You can adjust age filters, add books to your child's library, view your child's reading progress, and more.

Amazon Kids+ includes the complete Harry Potter series, and the first book from other popular series such as Artemis Fowl. We are always adding more content to the Amazon Kids+ library, including these top titles and recently added books. Kids can explore the catalog by searching for specific titles and authors, or browse by themes such as Popular Books, New Books, and more.
3: How can I access even more Books?
Amazon Kids+ provides access to books over a range of reading levels, and automatically filters out what your child sees based on their age. To see a wider selection of titles, go to Parent Dashboard to adjust the age filter in your child's profile setting. Parents can also purchase additional titles from the Kindle Store, and add them to their child's profile via Parent Dashboard.

Kindle Kids is purpose built for reading, with a black & white glare-free display and up to 6 weeks of battery life. It performs differently than a tablet, because it's geared for reading books – no apps, no videos, no games, no distractions.
