Tall tale is right! Big Annie is a larger-than-life heroine – a Creole flatboat captain who uses her amazing strength, and the help of some animal friends, to pull a boatload of toys through a terrible storm one Christmas Eve long ago. The soundtrack captures the sound of New Orleans jazz, and the rhythm and power of the American work song. Your children will quickly be helping Annie by singing her song, “Heave Ho! Pull the boat Big Annie!” A “big” addition to your holiday library and all year long.

““I’ve got to tell you this is an awesome idea! What I liked about Mobistories is that, rather than just presenting another movie format, it looks like you are reading a book. The pictures are bright and colorful. There is a variety of artistic styles. The narration is expressive. When multiple characters are speaking, there are different voices reading the parts. The words are printed, as well as read aloud. This re-enforces the words for the child who is reading along….”

“Kids love to be on the computer. Here is a great way for them to do something educational. They can enjoy a virtual book. Since reading is a very important skill for a child to learn here is way a child can enjoy reading a book but on a screen. I downloaded a book for my 2 year old over the weekend and she loved it.”
Maria, author of Thrifty Ways and Ideas

They’re starting to recognize the words that appear on the page as they’re being read to. There’s nothing like edutainment! But, shhh! Don’t tell the kids!

This would make a great boredom buster for the little ones in the backseat as you travel “over the river and through the woods…”
