CTR Review

Featuring beautifully watercolor/pencil illustratrations with limited interactivity, this is a fiction story about a curious ladybug who wonders about the life of a caterpillar. What do they come from? What do they dream about when they are asleep in their chrysalis? There's an underlying tone of science beneath the story. In the "read to me" mode, individual words are highlighted. There is no "back" page icon, making it hard to navigate through the pages. Written, illustrated, and animated by the author, K Joy and developed by Artistic Playtime and Newmediasoup, LLC.
