Recently we were invited to attend an event featuring an app by Disney and Mo Willems. Unfortunatley the kiddos weren’t able to attend with us so dad and I took a day to ourselves in NYC.
The hubs and I were thrilled to attend since we are always looking for new apps that may potentially keep the kids busy during our long trips and of course active in reading.
We were able to play with the app a bit at the event. I also enjoyed an especially made pigeon blue cupcake by the awesome Magnolia Bakery. Delicious!
Mo Willems is an amazing author and illustrator. His books are funny and the kids absolutely love them. Much like his books Willems strives to create interactive content. The app allows the kids to not only listening in on the story but also choose different things to create a story of their own.
I was able to meet and talk with Mr. Willems and asked if he considered creating bilingual(English /Spanish) books he informed me that there were indeed Spanish books in the market however not bilingual. I also told him how i hoped for an app where the language settings could be changed. It would be awesome to have an app I could switch to English and Spanish.
Here’s a sneak peek to the app. The kids were just getting ready to listen in to an already made up story In the clip you will see how they enjoy to mess with the pigeon. I didn’t record the story because the stories are different. I didn’t want to ruin the fun in creating your own.
