App Description

Meet Elly the Reindeer and help your child speak in Japanese and English! This delightful free app is the first in the Elly the Reindeer series and is ideal as a parent and child reader. For parents looking to bring up bilingual children, the stories can be read and listened to in both Japanese and English.

The app comes with a free introductory story featuring Elly and her friends. After you’ve read the free story, you can purchase more stories from within the app and build up your Elly collection! There are ten to collect, each featuring a specially-designed dual-language function. When your child swipes up and down, the stories switch between Japanese and English! Both modes come with story narration, unique sound effects, and beautiful illustrations.

Elly has already become a hit in over 30 countries around the world, and this brand new app features all the charming stories translated into Japanese for the first time. Your child will love meeting Elly and all her cute friends, and will want to read the simple, fun, easy-to-follow stories again and again.

Features include:
• 'Read it myself' function for children to read alone or with their parents
• 'Read to me' autoplay function with English and Japanese narration
• Large, colourful illustrations
• Sound effects in every scene
• A word list at the end of each story to help improve your child's vocabulary

The creator, Jon Higham, is a published author and illustrator who has created work for a wide range of children's publishers including the BBC, Macmillan, Methuen, and Walker Books.
