Children will delight in helping Pig discover that, with a little help from nature, he can grow his own vegetable garden in this brilliant and funny story book app.
Pig lives on an apple farm with Ms. Pippins, but hes just so tired of his apples-only diet. A little variety would be nice, perhaps some vegetables? After naughty Pig squirms his way into the neighbors garden and feasts on squash, an annoyed Ms. Pippins ties him up in his sty where his digging creates a perfect soil bed. But where will he get some seeds? Fortunately the squash seeds he ate earlier, together with a little fertilizer of his own, provide the answer. A little patience and a bit of help from the rain and sun make his wish come true!
Based on a real-life story by Kathryn Thurman, this app is quite a treat as it brings Lindsay Wards multimedia artwork to life. Four-to-eight-year-olds will want to touch, tap and tilt over and over again! Whats more theyll discover apple recipes and a wealth of organic gardening facts right at their fingertips!
