My Thoughts:
I have bought, as well as reviewed a lot of apps recently, to use with my daughter, Savannah, and have to say that A Duck in New York City is by far one of the best I have seen in a long time. What a cute story – a duck wants to make it to NYC to sing on Broadway. What a great way to teach your children to follow their dreams and persevere. The duck never gave up, even when the others laughed at his dream. He didn’t let them get to him, and headed to NYC to make his dreams come true. This heartfelt story is brought to life through this app in a beautiful way. I love the stunning and bright illustrations and the ease of navigation of this app. My daughter was able to stay engaged and loved the musical aspect of the app, including the sing along karaoke portion. I have to warn you, the theme song is addicting. Just this evening, I found myself humming the tune while preparing dinner.
Overall, this is a great app to download and share with you children. They can either choose to listen to the narrated story, or practice their reading skills by reading it out loud. Either way, everyone, including parents will enjoy this story about a duck who had a dream and made it a reality!
