Latest reviews of Tacky the Penguin app for iPhone and iPad
Love the sound effects
Cute story. Usual high quality story from Oceanhouse Media with special effects that compliment the story nicely.
We love this story so much! It is the current favourite in our bedtime reading queue. The narration is nice, but we like to turn that off so we can sing horribly with the penguins. The sound effects add a nice touch.
A good read & not too cluttered.
Great for 4-6 year olds. The ability to tap on an object and see it spelled out is nice for a child leaning how to read. Entertaining story with just enough happening on each page.
