Arthur’s Teacher Trouble
© 2012 Wanderful, Inc.
First released on CD-ROM in 1993 as one of the Living Books series, this 24 screen, engaging electronic storybook features Arthur and his gang of friends in a typical day at school with their teacher, Mr. Ratburn. Children can hear the story read aloud and touch many hot spots to see story-related animations. The story is humorous and the graphics, delightful. Features include the ability to toggle between English and Spanish or jump to any page with a new table of contents feature (additional languages can be purchased). Four screens of the 24 screen app introduce the spelling words. There are no explicit activities, but the story line is strong and young children love the characters and clickables. A premium upgrade is available for all three apps for $2.99 via In-App Purchase, which includes a 40-80 page Classroom Activities guide as well as regular feature updates. French can be added for a $1.99 In-App Purchase and is included in the “Little Monster at School” and “Arthur’s Teacher Trouble” apps.
