Do you think learning can be funny? Would you like to laugh while you learn English? Meet our award-winning friend Heckerty — a 409 year old green-faced witch, hilarious and with a heart of gold. An Editor’s Choice by Children’s Technology Review, “Recommended by Educators” on Google Play for Education, awarded 4 Stars by CommonSense.org, Shorty Awards finalist, a Mashable Kids Pick and proclaimed a “must have” by The Unofficial Apple Weblog — Heckerty delivers! The superb narration and enchanting animations are ideal for children 3-8 years old, as well as anyone learning English. Meet Heckerty is the first in the Heckerty storybook series and introduces our zany, funny friend and her loyal cat Zanzibar. In this story, Heckerty mistakenly turns her face bright green while trying to make magic soap to wash her face beautiful for a passport picture! Stuck with her green face, Heckerty worries that people won't like her any more because now she’s different. Kind and gentle, Heckerty learns every day from her own silly mistakes. And as kids laugh their way through her zany adventures and their magical interactive animations, they discover important life values — caring, inclusiveness, loyalty and integrity. Everyone loves Heckerty and as you watch your child improve their reading and vocabulary while laughing with Heckerty, you will, too! So act now and discover just how magical a child’s story can be!
