The Tale of Peter Rabbit

Posted in Featured, Stories on November 21, 2011 by Emma Apple

‘The Tale of Peter Rabbit’ is an old classic that I’m sure many of you reading this review grew up with. I know I did. When PicPocket books asked me to review some of their library, I chose ‘The Tale of Peter Rabbit’ for the opportunity to introduce a new generation of little Muslim kids (or little any kids at all!) to this charming story. This app is an adaptation of the original Beatrix Potter tale. It is simple enough for little ones, engaging and full of mischief for... Keep Reading »
