Ebook Review of "The Smart Bunch"

Giveaway and Ebook Review of “The Smart Bunch”

The Smart Bunch is a animated ebook for children. The book helps children learn more about electricity and energy. The ebook is short but very interesting and helps children explore new words and new scientific concepts. The timing of this ebook was great for my family because at the end of June and beginning July the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area experienced a significant power loss. The storms produced hurricane-force winds, which were more than 80 mph, and it left more than 1.5 million residents in the surrounding areas without power. The Smart Bunch ebook would have been a great go to resource for families to turn to help explain the electricity failure. My children were engrossed in the Smart bunch story and asked for an encore presentation.

What I liked most about the Ebook

Captivating graphics
Great pictures that kept my children’s
attention
Good music and sound effects
Appears to be well thought out
Educational story that teaches about electricity
Helps answer questions children have about power outages
Teaches about conservation
Can be used an introduction to science
Introduces alternative sources of energy subtly.
The families name is unique and positive.
The families ethnicity is racially ambiguous and many children will be able to relate to it.

Suggestions

I would have liked more verbal animation
An interactive Ebook that children can touch and explore would have been fun and interesting as well.

The Smart Bunch is the first Ebook in the series. Great for ages 3-7
