I just found your website and need some help. 
I developed an animated story and interactive game book for children on the iPad and iPhone. Now I want to do the same for the android. Is Android Studio the correct tool to use for this project? If you would like to see what I am trying to do for the android, I put a sneak peek video on my website to show the iPad version. I can't wait to get started on the android version but am unsure which software will be the best one to achieve my goal. My website is www.cefathecat.com  
Thanks for your help

This is not the Android Studio forum. This is MIT App Inventor 2.

Sorry but I used the same email that I sent to Android Studio.  What I want
to know is which program will help me make an animated story and
interactive children's book.  I've looked at App Inventor, Android Studio
and Corona SDK.  I am not opposed to spend a little money but I want to
make sure that what ever program I choose will do what I want.  When I look
at the tutorials each teaches how to make a game and that's not exactly
what I want.
Will App Inventor create an animated ebook?

For what I saw in www.cefathecat.com (I like the books, good job) I would say it is totally possible. BUT keep in mind that App Inventor is not really a professional or full featured programming platform. It's actually a learning tool that exceeds its purpose. That's why a lot of people feel like it's limited.
So, if you start doing one of your animated books, you may feel at some point, that the limitations are too big to keep going, but if you keep the graphics and sounds low in size and an optimized use of the blocks , I don't see why you shouldn't be able to make a good animated book.
Good luck with that.
