"That is such a smart mouse, I cant believe it. Do you want to know what he did? Youll read that in the first story," Elephant says. The story of giving birth to their friendship is published as an iPad app on the App Store.
"Mouse & Elephant become friends" is the moving story of Elephant going for a walk to the lake but then gets trapped in a bad situation. There he meets Mouse and they end up being friends. In the story there are animations and sounds that children can playfully discover.
This app provides a delightful adventure for young children, with fun animations and sounds. Children can listen to the narrator (UK, IT, NED), but also an adult can tell the story. The beautiful illustrations of Lea Vervoort offer a lot of space to tell the story of Mouse & Elephant in your own way .
