Samsung and Barnes & Noble are teaming up to encourage kids to read.

As of today, the Barnes & Noble’s Nook app for kids is the only reading app on the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids, the companies announced. The app is compliant with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), offering access to thousands of new and classic children’s titles.

That includes favorites like the latest editions of American Girl and Ranger Rick magazines, along with Strawberry Shortcake: Field Day, Kung Fu Panda: Art of Balance, Madagascar 3: Long Live the King, Penguins of Madagascar: Wonder from Down Under Part 1, Beast Friends Forever, Horrid Henry, Quest of the Warrior Sheep, and Elliot & The Goblin War.
