For the child who desires to be pleasantly spooked, this playful 10 page ebook would be especially good around Halloween, but the content will hold interest any time of the year. Each screen contains narrated text with highlighted words. That, combined with the topic, makes this a good early reading app for a general language experience. Each page has a skit, including a finger-eating plant, a haunted Mona Lisa jigsaw puzzle, a bug squishing game where you try to kill furry scorpions before they multiply, a piano keyboard made of coffins that scream, and a clever face decorating activity that uses your front-facing camera, and lets you paste weird eyes or fangs onto your face. Features include the ability to record your own narration, and the ability to toggle between English, Spanish and Portuguese. There are no ads.
