PRESS RELEASE:
Auckland, NZ – Announcing Kiwa Media, the developer of Hairy Maclary From Donaldsons Dairy (QBook), has launched a remarkable new product for iPad users. The application is a unique, interactive, read-along QBook(TM) which combines a celebrity narrator’s voice, full page illustrations, touchable speaking text, to help young kids develop reading and comprehension skills in an entertaining way. QBook(TM) is a very popular teaching tool and has become the format of choice for many publishers.
Hairy Maclary From Donaldsons Dairy is an iconic bestseller, with over 1.5 million copies sold, written by one of New Zealand’s most popular authors, Lynley Dodd. Dodd has an instantly rewarding writing style as she takes Hairy the dog and his doggy friends exploring down their street. Tension arises however, when a terrible cat by the name of Scarface Claw enters the scene.
Youngsters love the verbal pacing used by the celebrity narrator, David Tennant, the actor famous for his role as Dr. Who. Tennant reads the story, revealing how Hairy and the gang deal with their problem. As the tale unfolds in this QBook(TM), kids are able to interact with it, touching words to watch them leap to life and speak or holding their finger down on a word to hear each letter pronounced, thereby learning to spell and recognize the words.
Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy, like all of the QBooks, provides for a great deal of personalization, so kids can proudly add their own creativity to the book, which even further encourages their involvement in the learning process, increases their focus and is just plain more fun. That’s what QBook(TM) is all about and it seems to work very well.
