Mandy and Andy Apps

Recently I have been offered to review some interesting apps for little ones.   Please read the reviews and watch for the special announcement at the end.

Mandy and Andy Renovating

Mandy and Andy Renovating is a fun little book based on…

You have two options of reading;  Read to Me will tell the story to the child who will listen while  I read Myself will let the child to read the story with the parent.  What is fun is that the app can be read in English, French or in Chinese.

The app has fun music as well as little things to discover as you go through the book.  We have listened to the English and French version and the quality of the reading is simply fantastic.   My toddler had fun to discover the hidden images throughout the story.   The quality of the graphics is stunning and will keep your little one’s attention for sure!

Mandy and Andy - The Seasons

This specific book continues the interactive Mandy and Andy series.  It will help your child to explore the seasons.   Mandy and Andy discover the seasons and learn to appreciate each of them.   The story can be listened to or read by the child.

Also included in this little app, you will find a task section which will allow your child to play games like matching the leaves or coloring a picture of Mandy and Andy having a picnic.   This section brings a new level of interaction with the Mandy and Andy books on iTouch or iPhone.

This app had many languages available; French, English, German, Japanese and Spanish.    I particularly like the fact that my kids could listen to the story in French and English but I am delighted that this story also has Spanish which is another language we are learning slowly.  

Conclusion

Each animated children’s book done by BeiZ and Satukustannus is fun and educational.  The children will improve their reading and listening skills with them.  

I personally think that these two stories would be a wonderful addition to your apps if you have little ones ages 2 1/2 to 5 years old.   My daughter who is 2 1/2 really enjoys discovering the hidden images in both stories.   And she had a blast coloring Mandy and Andy having a picnic.

These two apps are perfect to entertain your child while you wait for an appointment.    I strongly recommend to you take the time to check them out.

They are currently available for the price of 99cents each on iTunes.
