Big Cat iPad Apps

Collins Big Cat apps help to aid language acquisition with an animated book, containing audio and sound effects.

They make reading interactive: children can record their own narration and play it back as they read the book.

The Story Creator feature helps to transform young readers into writers. You can use the app again and again by using elements of the story to create new books.

They also extend learning beyond the book – every app contains guidance for parents tailored to the story.

These Big Cat iPad apps are available now in the App Store:

The Steam Train

Around The World

It Was a Cold, Dark Night

They can be used in the classroom and for home learning too. Why not recommend to your parents as a way to maintain reading standards? Each app is just £2.49 and contains both the animated book and the Story Creator feature.

"Now this is an interesting and exciting app! ... I loved the ingenuity of having children read a story and then be able to create their own version or an entirely different story... I will definitely be reading this with my son."                           - The iPhone Mom. Read the review here.

"Keeps the excitement and use of the app going, long after you’ve finished reading." - Apps4Moms.net. Read the review here.
