An original and fun singalong app story by Julie Hedlund, and featuring the delightful illustrations of Pamela Baron. Original music by Tim McCanna. Available now on the App store, for iPad. (Ages 6 to 10)

Young readers will learn all about the collective nouns used for groups of animals… everything from a “troop of monkeys” to an “ostentation of peacocks.” Even parents might learn a word or two in this fun and interactive romp through the animal kingdom!

Little fingers will enjoy touching the animals and hearing their calls, and seeing them react in charming and surprising ways. The owls turn their heads around and hoot when you touch them, and the monkeys swing from branch to branch! (What do you think the skunks will do?)
