This is a fun version of the Flip Flap book, enabling the reader to read poems about dogs that exist like Bulldog or Dalmatian, or creatively combine them, making up their own "breed", like a Bulldatian. The combinations and poems are fun for children to listen, to copy and to play with friends. By creating new animals and their corresponding poems, the app may enhance children's creativity and broaden their imagination. This game in itself brings attention to how words are formed and invite children to wordplay. You can choose to read it yourself or have the rhymes read to you by a lovely child reader. The words are highlighted in red when you are being read to, which supports the association between the sounds and their written form. It is a rhyming text with a wonderful use of adjectives to describe the crazy animal combinations, which supports communication and language. This app was created by Nosy Crow and illustrated by Nikki Dyson. It belongs to the series of Nosy Crow's Flip Flap apps which also have printed counterparts.
Other notable themes and features of the app include Animals, Humour, Imagination, Rhyming, UK dialect, Understanding the world, Words.
