App Description

Sure to make you chuckle! A little girl is busy putting on her Halloween witch costume…
...her friends keep trying to frighten her, to which she confidently replies: “Can’t scare me!”
…until she gets a glimpse of HERSELF in the mirror, and finally has a fright! ☺

This cute story also comes with two fun games: a memory game and a “spot the difference” game. A great way to get your kids into the Halloween spirit in a fun, light-hearted way.
GAMES INCLUDED:
★ Memory game: flip the cards and find the matches! In three different skill levels (easy, medium, hard)
★ Photo Hunt Game: A “Spot the Difference” game where players must find 10 differences between two otherwise similar images.

PERSONALIZE THE VOICE AND TEXT:
★ You (or your child) can record your own narration for the story
★ Change the text of the story wherever you’d like: perhaps include your child’s name / or some friends’ names as one of the characters?

LITERACY BUILDING FEATURES ON EACH PAGE:
★Character and sound association - when a character is tapped on the associated sound is played.
★Karaoke effect - when a word is spoken during narration then the word is highlighted.
★Touch a word to hear it being spoken in Read Myself mode.

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.
★"Read myself" - There is no narration but the child can touch a word to hear it being spoken aloud.
★"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.
