STORYBOOK
Kids follow Bessy the cow as she searches for a more comfortable bed. She ends up in some pretty silly situations in this “the grass is always greener” tale. Every page of the story features beautiful illustrations that mesmerize little ones. Theyll love listening to the story as it is read aloud for them by a super cute kid narrator. The iPad version also helps kids learn to read by presenting each word on the screen as it is read.
PUZZLE GAME
The 15-level puzzle game starts with a series of 6-piece puzzles, then moves on to 9-piece puzzles, and finally to 12-piece puzzles. The puzzles have been extensively tested with small children to ensure the right balance of challenge and success. The pieces are calibrated to snap into place when they are positioned “close-enough” to where they should go. This is a great way to introduce kids to puzzles and help them get the concept.
MATCHING GAME
Kids will love matching pairs of pictures from the storybooks. The 6-level matching game starts off with 6 memorable images to match, then moves on to 8, 10, 12, 18, and 24 images to match. This matching game is a great and fun way to develop a child’s memory skills.
BEHIND THE SCENES LOOK
