New Kid On The Block

• Stories and poems you bring to life!

• Winner of a January 2013 Editor's Choice Award from Children's Technology Review

• An interactive animated storybook of poems originally published by the award-winning Living Books

With The New Kid on the Block, Wanderful's first interactive poetry book, children are encouraged to learn the meaning of words by exploring poems. They'll meet an ugly dog, a leaking baby and the exploding Bloders. They giggle at the antics of a chorus line of 40 dancing bananas and laugh as fearless Tillie eats her fiery chilli. And much more!

In this irresistible collection of 18 hilarious poems, Jack Prelutsky displays an unerring instinct for subjects that appeal to children (of all ages). In this collection are poems touched by magic and brought to life with characters that talk and move and sing and dance. Wonderful worlds, begging to be explored open up at each turn of the page. With sound effects, music, humor and lots of animations, it's a whole new learning experience.

Reading skills grow through word recognition. Words, phrases and lines can be highlighted individually; they are then read aloud, and animations convey their meaning.

KEY FEATURES:

• Eighteen poems, with 59 fully animated pages

• Virtually every word on each page comes to life when tapped

• Words, phrases and lines can be highlighted individually; they are then read aloud, and animations convey their meaning
