The Abacus - Children's Narrated Story Book app for iPhone and iPad

Want to spend some quality time with your child enjoying a good story? Then this app is for you! Our apps are based on the long tradition of a good picture book. They are aimed at young children who enjoy having a simple family orientated story read to them. Alternatively if they are slightly older they can build on their reading skills by reading along with the narration of the author.

The story:
Burdock finds Grandpa making an abacus and he asks Burdock if he wants to help. Even though Burdock really wants to help he doesn’t like counting so says no. Later Burdock helps Papa, Mama and Grandma and along the way Burdock discovers counting can be fun after all!

This childrens picture book has been exclusively written for Mad Moment Media Ltd as part of their narrative picture book series by children’s author Lynne Garner.
