A Whale of a Tale!: All About Porpoises, Dolphins and Whales
© 2012 Oceanhouse Media
The fourth digital book in The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library series (adapted from the printed series) this omBook features The Cat in the Hat as a guide. You board Captain McElligot's Cetacean Station, searching for whales, dolphins, and porpoises and learning how cetaceans stay warm without hair, have teeth or baleen, swim in troops, spyhop, spin, and breach. The app features interactive diagrams designed to teach the difference between a fish tale and a whale tale, demonstrate the use of echolocation to find prey and highlight migration patterns on a world chart. Children can also learn new terms by tapping on instant glossary words throughout the story. Other features include: a matching quiz to test your child's dolphin knowledge; animated objects; individual words that highlight and are read aloud when tapped; and picture / word association — words that zoom up and are spoken when pictures are touched. As with other Oceanhouse Media books, there are two ways to read the book - Read to Me and Read it Myself. The book is based on original text and artwork.
