Peter is a naughty little rabbit who gets into trouble when he goes into Mr McGregor's garden and eats some of his vegetables.
Whether keeping the little ones occupied on journeys, or helping them learn to read, The Tale of Peter Rabbit features a compelling narrated story, with beautifully illustrated images based on the originals by Beatrix Potter herself. Illustrations actually move around and zoom in and out of the screen while they listen to the narration, and offers a unique way to keep young children engaged. Additionally, the application contains the full book, so once it is downloaded there is no need for an internet connection.
The story scrolls across the bottom of the screen with the current word highlighted as it is read, and the story can be paused and resumed at any time. The "Read to me" lets a child enjoy the timeless antics of Peter Rabbit. The "I'll read" mode lets a child read at their own pace. As they read the story for themselves, they just touch the word as they read it; the illustrations will change with each chapter but they will not be fully animated so that there is no visual distraction while they read.
Feature Highlights:
* Compelling, animated Illustrations and story line
* Serves to help enhance reading skills for young children, 3 thru 6
* Two Modes for learning: "Read to me" and "I'll read"
* Does not require an internet connection
"Young children are under-represented with apps in the app store," said Adrian Nelson, founder of Utility Warrior. "Based on my experience with my own children, I know how important it is to stimulate a child to learn to read - which must be just about the most important life skill a parent can teach their child. In order to help children learn to read and associate word sounds with letters, I felt it important to highlight the word as they were being read in the narration and then give the child the option of trying to read it at their own pace as well without narration. So in the case of this audiobook, I wanted to learn how to synchronize narration and images in a fun multimedia type way - and the best way to learn something is to do it - and do it well."
