It works now and is great!
When I first downloaded this app, it wasn't working. But PicPocket Books have fixed the problem now and it works beautifully on my iphone4
This is a very cute story, all the little insects work together to move a cucumber... it is great for kids to learn insect names and characteristics, counting, cooperation and sharing.
After the story there is one page on each insect with great descriptions of each insect. There is even a kid friendly recipe for cucumber soup at the end!
I wish more bookapps had educational hints, tips and activities to do with my kids at the end - very cool!
My son is 4.5 and my daughter is 3.5 I expect them to continue to enjoy this story for quite a while
