Description

Five fantastical worlds intertwine in this wordless masterpiece that could only have been devised by David Wiesner, three-time winner of the Caldecott Medal, the honor awarded to the most distinguished American picture book for children.

Spot is an app unlike any other. A visual adventureone that is never the same twiceunfolds as you travel through spaces that transition into one another via the pinch-and-zoom feature of your iPad. With a pinch and a zoom, you move through dazzling scenes, delving into worlds within worlds rendered in gorgeous original artwork by David Wiesner.

This beautifully-designed exploratory app provides settings and props to inspire storytellers. Children of all ages can explore various worlds and characters, using their discoveries as the jumping off place to tell their own creative stories. Peek under an armchair and visit the dust bunnies in Lower Rgg, wander among the robotic shoppers in the marketplace of Mekanikos, or watch the glorious cat parade in Katzaluna. Hotspots transport you from world to world, and its up to you to decide what happen next in the story!
Transport yourself to these imaginative worlds:
Lower Rgg, a tiny world beneath an armchair
Mekanikos, a world of robots
Oceana Prime, an underwater world
Katzaluna, a world of cats
And an intergalactic space station!

Wiesners luminous art provides endless opportunities for creativity. This multi-faceted app is uniquely designed to support fundamentally focused learning areas including:
Executive Function
Creative Expression
Language and Literacy
Family and Community
Social and Emotional Development
