App Description

It's Halloween - and just when you thought "trick or treating" couldn't be any more fun, here come Heckerty and her faithful cat, Zanzibar, with a new adventure. Halloween is Heckerty's birthday - but despite Zanzibar's attempts to persuade her to go out to celebrate, she doesn't feel like it. So when "trick or treaters" dressed in costume turn up at her cave door, she and Zanz are scared. That is until they open the door and meet the kids face-to-face.

Like Heckerty and Zanzibar, in this story kids learn how scary things often aren’t really scary at all. And that fears can be conquered without hurting or harming others — especially if they have a good friend like Zanzibar!

Kind and gentle, Heckerty stories are ideal for children 3-8 years old, as well as anyone learning English. As readers laugh their way through another wacky, magical adventure - they learn English and discover important life values - caring, loyalty and the courage to overcome their fears.

Everybody loves Heckerty and as you watch your child improve their vocabulary and reading while laughing with Heckerty and Zanzibar, you will too!

So download "Heckerty's Halloween" today and discover just how magical a child's story can be!
