Curious George’s Town
© 2013 Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Designed to teach smart saving and spending habits, this app lets children build Curious George's Town with virtual savings they earn by completing in-app challenges and real-life tasks outlined by parents, for example, eating their vegetables or helping with chores. With guidance from The Man With The Yellow Hat, children can play interactive games around the town in such places as the market, library, pet store and town square. The games let children earn virtual coins they can use to buy items such as a dinosaur or roller coaster as they build their very own town. Parents can use a reward chart to set tasks for their child and help them earn more coins to purchase items in the Town Store. Activities include: feed the animals at the Pet Store; decorate a cake at the Bakery; sort books at the Library; clean and recycle at the Park; navigate through the Town Square Maze; and collect items from the checkout at the Grocery Store.
