Join Jessie on an adventure as she tries to keep her new pet elephant and its friends hidden in a building where no pets are allowed. The first in Hum Studios’ interactive book series aimed at 3 to 5-year-olds, "No Pets Allowed" is a fun way to get your kids reading, while keeping them entertained. The book works just like a traditional one, with the pages turning when you swipe the screen (on your tablet or phone). When you tap the screen, however, the characters come alive and play out the scene! You can have the app narrate the story to your child, or just read it with them like a regular book - with a musical soundtrack if you want it. More than just a book, it's a game too! Hidden within the story are five butterflies. As your child reads the adventure, they’re invited to find all five of them! Every time your child reads the story, the butterflies are hidden in different places. As educational a book and as fun as a game, "No Pets Allowed" makes reading as entertaining as possible. No subscription, no ads, no worries for parents.
