Great fun

Our grandchildren loved this as they had read some Elmer books

Elmer and Rose

Elmer and Rose introduces the reader to the concept of being different and unique. Elmer, Rose and Wilbur learn about this on their introduction to each other and the journey to return Rose to her herd. A great interactive story, which will lead to great discussion of the idea of how we can be different yet share many same traits. I love the colorful graphics and fun storyline. Access to more apps, but no IAP. Oceanhouse media has once again produced a winner.

Poor narration

This would be a great app if it wasn't for the appalling narration. The woman's voice is like some kind of voiceover; it's just bizarre. My son is a huge fan of Elmer, but he won't listen to the narrated version. A great story and illustrations deserves proper storytelling narration. Please do not waste your money on this - I wish I hadn't.
