The Tales of Aarchie follows the adventures of an Armadillo who takes us on an interactive journey where we learn about quirks of the English language.
We start with homophones which are words that sound the same but are spelt differently and describe different things.
Sore and saw, horse and hoarse and stairs and stares for instance. Wonderfully imaginative, the story changes from scene to scene through the pressing of the glowing word in question. This takes us through to another scene involving its glowing counterpart and the next step in the journey.
On a tablet or mobile device, the glorious illustrations animate in a totally charming way across many different environments and landscapes.
This brings a different level of sophistication to educational story telling that makes learning for children fun.
