Lucy & Pogo
© 2015 Catsndogz Studio GbR
Short, sweet, and containing a great story, this is an extremely well-illustrated page flipper about a cat (Lucy) who decides to infiltrate a school for dogs. Interactive features are limited, but the features that are used always support the narrative structure of the story. For example, you can complete a dot-to-dot puzzle to learn about how evil cats are, or complete a jigsaw puzzle that illustrates how wonderful dogs are. The games are extremely limited and the story frequently deals dog habits, like frequent peeing. In the story, Lucy helps the dogs understand that cats are different but it is possible to get along. It's a story about prejudice, tolerance, empathy and the eagerness to learn. Available in English, French, German, Polish and Spanish.
