App Description

Sure to get a laugh from any parent whose child moves from obsession to obsession! (don't worry: we've all been there)
Edsel is obsessed with cars: when he orders a life-sized model car kit, the whole neighborhood goes on a wild ride!
You'll get a kick out of Edsel's adventures…and the punchline of the story: when he abandons cars for rockets!

Is your child obsessed – REALLY obsessed – with a hobby? Whether your little one is in to princesses or trains, you’ll get a chuckle out of watching Edsel’s obsession with model cars reach new heights! A high-octane adventure for kids of any age!

"The story is told in pictures as much as words, making it an ideal title for children to re-write as a way to build their own storytelling skills" - Digital Storytime

Key features include:
★ 31 pages of beautiful illustrations
Three ways to read the book.
★ "Read to me" - listen to the narrated story while the text is displayed Karaoke style. After the narration finishes on a page the child can interact with objects till they are ready to move to the next page.
★ "Auto Play" - same as "Read to Me" except the page advances automatically once the narration is finished. Useful for those long car rides when you want the child to have a complete book experience.
★ "Read myself" - There is no narration but the child can touch a word to hear it being spoken aloud. This is designed for older children who want to experience the book at their own pace.


Features on each page
★ Professional narration
★ Image and word association vocabulary builder - when an image is touched the associated word is spoken and the written word displayed.
★ Karaoke effect - when a word is spoken during narration then the word is highlighted.
★ Touch a word to hear it being spoken.
