Des is addicted to the ipad. It worried me at first, but now I have found many fun and educational games and books for her.

There are several options to this interactive app. You can choose to have the story read to you , you read it, or play the game and help pack the backpack. We loved all the bright, colorful pictures. There was so much imagination put into it and it all comes to life in a sense when you read the book. If you choose to listen to the book, the words are crisp and clear and easy to understand. There is so much detail put into each character, it's bound to catch your little one's attention and pull them in.
There are also questions on every page of the book specifically designed to help your child analyze the text, boost their imagination and make predictions about the story.This really helps your child learn and understand the story.
I was amazed at the imagination in all of it. Every detail was thoroughly thought through and really brought to life. It has brought out a side of Des and her imagination that I can't say I have seen before. I am not addicted to watching her play with this app. It's truly amazing all the different things you will spot each different time you go through it. Not only is it fun and educational, it's going to brighten their day with creativity, imagination, and pure fun!
