Two lovely little applications, one allows children to listen to the authors reading the books aloud while they click on the balloons and turn the pages whilst the other allows the readers to make cartoons featuring the characters from Benny & Penny.
Both applications look very good and, in my other life working in primary schools I’ll be adding these to my school website and trying them out with some of our younger children. I imagine they’re going to love them.
