Chuggington Chug Patrol Ready to Rescue
© 2013 StoryToys
A family of talking trains comes to life, in this well designed 3D storybook that could've easily stepped out of a Thomas the Tank episode (the content for this app comes from Ludorum (see http://ludorum.com/properties/chuggington). There's even a British narrator. Each train has a personality; with a different set of abilities and a challenge. The trains have names like Wilson, Brewster, Koko and Jackman, in this Chugtastic 3D interactive pop-up storybook app. Read the story, complete the challenges, and use your new skills to win badges. Easy to use and fun to explore, this is one of the most evolved releases we've seen from Ireland-based StoryToys. Like many children's eBooks, you can change the 3D pages with either a swipe or by using the page turn icons. The StoryToys apps take the page transitions a step further, with a 3D effect that is hard wired to your tablet's accelerometer. So you can move the background, parallax style, as you move your screen. It's as if the book were on a 3D pedestal. There are 31 pages and 10 badges, with two language options (USA or British English). http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/dl/android?p=com.storytoys.Chuggington.Book1.Paid.Amazon
