Children’s Technology Review — Editor’s Choice for Meet Heckerty
Review Excerpt: This eBook for iPad tells the story of Heckerty, a zany, rather silly witch who is trying trying to improve her beauty for a passport photo. She’s not helped by a bad case of the warts, snakes that live in her hair (just touch to find them) or eyebrows that crawl around her face in a rather creepy way. Some of the visual effects are a bit unsettling, but they’re offset by Heckerty’s humorous tone. In typical ebook fashion, you can swipe through the pages one at a time, or you can touch left/right broomsticks to manually turn the pages. In the read-to-me mode, the text is gradually revealed to the reader, in scroll-like fashion.
