Daisy Chain
© 2015 Protein One
The sequel to the Australian book/story/app "Dandelion" (2013), this 19 screen story app is beautifully illustrated with effective interactive activities and narration by actress Kate Winslet. The text is presented in paragraphs of all-caps letters, with no scaffolding or support. Parent options let you jump to any page in the story. In addition you can easily repeat the narration. The skills required to use this app are definitely lower than any reading prerequisite. In the story, you help a little girl pick daisies to make chains in order to overcome a gang of angry bullies. Each page introduces a simple challenge that might involve tilting the screen to catch floating daisies in the air, or arranging the daisies into a heart. The basic message is that love can help you move through the dark world. Other information on this title can be found at http://www.ilovedaisychain.com.
