App Description

The Pickatale Club is proud to introduce your child to A Friend is an Egg-cellent Thing. A bird discovers an egg in peril! She might save it from hungry alley cats, but who will save her? We make reading more exciting with great voices and balanced interactive features.

Book info:
Emily is a sweet little bluebird who loves to help other animals—from butterflies to worms and horses. She helps all animals except her enemies, the hungry Alley Cats. She tries to keep the Alley Cats from eating an unprotected egg, but instead they capture her. Fortunately the egg hatches, and Rex, the surprising animal that emerges, saves both himself and Emily. They become best friends forever.
