MORE REVIEWS FOR THE SAFFY LOOKS FOR RAIN APP:

"Saffy Looks For Rain is simply adorable. Saffy searches and searches for a sign of rain. She gets a big surprise when she finds that what you are looking for may not be what you need! The narration and graphics are terrific and the simplicity of the book just makes the app perfect. In addition to the story, there are coloring opportunities and a game center to keep your kids coming back. All of our educational apps teach some aspect of life and also include strengthening eye-hand coordination, observation skills, and much more! This one is a keeper!"
--Best Apps for Kids

"It is engaging and interactive and I love that we can also touch the objects in each page on the screen and there are also animations which catches our attention! My 3 years old boy had fun tapping the Ollie the elephants trunk which then splashes water to Saffy the giraffe."
--Im a Full-Time Mummy

REVIEWS FOR THE SAFFY LOOKS FOR RAIN BOARD BOOK:

Best books for Kids & Teens 2010 Chosen Title, The Canadian Children’s Book Centre

"Saffy, an adorable baby giraffe, proves less is more in this sweet and simple board book, perfectly sized for little hands."
—Recommended Reads, City Scene Magazine

“Saffy Looks for Rain is a story to which many children can relate. Most preschoolers can identify with an impatient Saffy and to not wanting to wait for something to happen. The message about the value of making new friends adds a didactic element to the story. Like Opals other board books, Saffy and Totty, Opals illustrations are colourful and outlined in bold black lines. Saffy Looks for Rain is strong sequel to Saffy and is an asset to a library or home library for infants to preschool-age children.
—Books That Heal Kids

“Paola Opals illustrations are done with sharp contrasting colours - ideal for even the youngest babies - and there is great potential for making this an expressive read-aloud - with plenty of sound effects: tweet tweet! flitter flutter! clippity clop!”
—We Heart Books
