Fiona & the Fog
© 2014 William Poor
Beautiful illustrations meet limited interactivity, in this interesting app about a girl's encounter with the fog. Some of the illustrations cleverly combine animation and photography. In the story, it's a cool, foggy morning in the city and Fiona is bored. She doesn't see the Fog sneak up behind her and steal her favorite scarf. You will follow Fiona as she chases the Fog across the city and back. The app features moving photo pages, and an original musical score. There is no read aloud option -- this experience is designed to be read by parents to their children. Need to know: Screens must be manually turned as the story progress, which is rather clumsy.
