Elmer’s Special Day

........for those times when you really need to capture a little ones attention (hair cuts etc!). Of course only works if they love Elmer!!

Brilliant app, my little ones love it, more like this please

Fantastic jungle noises! Lots of fun in this classic Elmer story.

My kids love Elmer and they love this app. I really hope they bring out some more Elmer apps soon.

This has US spelling but a UK voiceover. Why 'localise' one and not the other? But the worst thing is that the voice actor is entirely unsuited to reading a children's story. It sounds like someone announcing the National Lottery results... A great pity since they obviously decided we needed a British voice instead of an American one. Shame really as couldn't care less about the accent, just want someone reading the story with sincerity.

A brilliant story book app - lovely artwork with great music and sounds too.

Elmer’s Special Day is a lovely story that very nicely weaves in how to be part of a community and resolve issues that occur. I loved the story line, beautiful graphics and fun ending. This story offers different ways to hear/read the story and is interactive in that words will be presented for the items touched. Text is highlighted as it is read, reinforcing word recognition. The story can be used in so many ways, such as cause and effect, predictions, same and different, sequencing events and so much more. I am excited to use this with my special needs students and follow up with an art activity to make their own Elmer. This is an excellent app that does offer information and more apps to purchase, accessible by following the "the ;For parents only Directions";. This developer has a real knack for creating quality apps for children.

Great story, clear pronunciation.

My five year old loves this book!

I found this app to be a little frustrating. It quit on me twice, but did return to where I had left off. I like the animal names and sounds when you touch an animal, and the story is good. I prefer moving from page tp page by tapping an arrow as most apps do rather than swiping the page.
