Marvin and Molly App Launch

NEW CHILDREN’S APP STARRING MARVIN THE SHEEP
Website - www.sheepsy.com

Marvin the Sheep makes his first appearance for young children and parents in the newly-launched app ‘Marvin and Molly’. A worldwide bestseller in the picture book market, Marvin’s humorous adventures are written and illustrated by Joseph Theobald. In this new app Marvin has to win the heart of Molly, and after a number of helpful encounters triumphs with a dazzling display of sheep-dancing.

Each of the 22 pages contains secrets that children can discover, enriching their experience with animation, music and sounds. There are over 100 interactive elements to enjoy, and at the end children can play at dressing up Marvin or Molly and saving their creations to show their friends. As an aid to word identification, the text is highlighted while the narration by Aidan McArdle moves the story from page to page.

This is the first project of Pekingese Puppy Publications, working in conjunction with Sheepsy Publishing. Jacqui Lyons, founder of Pekingese Publications, said, “The Marvin stories have captured the imagination of their young audience all over the world. This new app allows children to enter into Marvin’s world in ways that develop their visual sense as well as their grasp of words and their meaning. The emphasis is on fun, but there is a learning process which parents will be able to share and enjoy with their children.”

The orginal Marvin stories are published worldwide by Bloomsbury. The producer of the app is Hetal Bhuva and the app is available on Apple and Android tablets.
