Cucumber Soup

Cucumber Soup is the story of a group of garden insects who try to move a cucumber that has fallen onto an anthill. They learn that in small groups or alone they aren’t able to move the cucumber but by working collectively they accomplish their goal. The insects then rejoice by sharing a feast of cucumber soup. There are three qualities of this storybook app that are especially appealing. First, the story conveys a valuable moral lesson that united together great feats can be realized that couldn’t be accomplished alone. Further, the design promotes counting, word recognition and comprehension by highlighting text and narration simultaneously thereby contributing to both auditory and visual learning. Finally, the app goes beyond storytelling to give a brief description of the ten different insects featured in the garden and provides a recipe for cucumber soup.
