Millie and the Lost Key and Millie Was Here are the digital equivalents of those always-enjoyable Highlights for Kids Magazines; a diverse entertainment bonanza in a tightly wrapped, colorful package. Equal parts story, You Tube animal-videos-gone-viral, and a mini-arcade, the Millie ebooks are so much more than books.
The abundant amounts of interaction and activities are cleverly built into the tale, so your child will be playing games, giving Millie treats, collecting virtual stickers, and watching Millie videos all throughout the stories. This results in a pair of apps that kids can and will want to revisit and engage with over and over again. The same cannot always be said of a physical book that was later turned into a pricey iPad app with added features tacked on as an appendix to the original story.
Millie Was Here, Book 1 is a free download so don’t hesitate for a minute there. Book 2, Millie and the Lost Key is $1.99 as of right now (and totally worth it). Both apps are available for all of your iDevices.
