Stuck in the mud, Alyssa to the rescue!
You, Kifaru and the Mud Problem By Amanda Greenslade, Illustrated by Caitlin Morgan
Children’s Interactive Picture Book
Released November 19, 2015
Australian eBook Publisher
Series: Insert Your Name, Book 1
Reviewed by Alyssa & Jean
An African hippo gets his foot stuck in the mud, and lots of animals try to help, but even the biggest and strongest is unable. The hippo needs your help to get free.
Your child will delight in this enhanced ebook, which makes them the hero of the story (you input their name and gender in the beginning). The moral of the story is learning to use your intellect (and engineering knowledge) rather than brawn to solve this sloshy, mucky problem.
There’s some information about the concept of leverage, a group game and a comprehension questionnaire at the end.
This story is ideal for reading to children aged 2-6.
I really love this book. I liked how you can put your name in and it shows up in the story. I also like how everyone tries to get Kifaru out of the mud. Neither the ostrich, oryx, hippo, or elephant were strong enough to free him. They had to call me for help 🙂 ~ Alyssa, age 10
You, Kifaru and the Mud Problem can be purchased from iTunes for iBooks as an interactive ebook where you input the child’s name and gender. The book is then customized for the child. If you purchase it as an ebook from other sources such as Amazon or Kobo the character is androgynous in the illustrations and could be either male or female. You then simply read your child’s name in the indicated places. At the end of the book there is educational material to teach about leverage and a series of comprehension questions for parents and educators. The illustrations are colorful and appealing. The text has a repeated description that adds to the flow of the story and makes things fun for the reader. Overall this is a great read aloud picture book for the young reader.
