I hadn’t gotten a chance to try out the iPad app Maggie and the Trouble of Monkeys so I asked my eight year old daughter to give it a try first. I was in the other room while she was reading the story and I kept hearing her giggling to herself. I figured the app must be funny but I had no idea what she’d found so appealing until I tried it out for myself. Once I’d read the story I immediately understood why my daughter had related so well to Maggie.
Maggie has trouble with monkeys. She especially has trouble with a certain little monkey that jumps, makes noise and plenty of messes. At the end of the story Maggie’s monkey is revealed to be her little brother and that is what got my daughter giggling. She also has a little brother and she completely related to Maggie’s troubles.
Maggie and the Trouble with Monkeys has a delightful feel to it. The story’s text comes in a variety of colors, styles and sizes. At times it’s even animated on the page. The story is accompanied by fun, jazzy music that compliments the app’s original feel. The price seems a tad high but this is a delightful iPad app that is very well suited for young children. Especially those with little brothers.
