The Adventures of Freddi the Fishing Boat

Interactive story ‘The Adventures of Freddi the Fishing Boat’, aimed at children aged three to seven, brings the charm of an old-fashioned bedtime tale from the traditional pop-up book format to the modern convenience of the tablet screen.

Dreamt up by three entrepreneurs based in Cawsand, South East Cornwall, and illustrated by a local artist with pictures inspired by the local scenery, this new product has been praised by early years education experts as an excellent tool for helping youngsters learn to read.

This modern take on the traditional story book format has interactive animations, sound effects, a sea shanty musical theme and optional narration.

In the narration option, the words on the page are highlighted as they are read, showing how the story progresses through the text. Children can then touch any word on the screen to hear it read individually. The animations, meanwhile, have been especially designed to maintain youngsters’ attention without distracting them from the tale.

It was first released in 2012 and sold in Appstore, Googleplay and Amazon.
