Bella and the Five Balloons
A sweet little girl Bella just lost her balloons. The red, green, yellow, orange and blue were blown away in the wind. “Come back!” she screamed, trying to chase the soaring balloons. Each went different direction. Ough, which one she should go after first?
We can enjoy the fairy tale about Bella looking for her missing balloons digitally, Superkids. For start, the application can run on iOS based gadget such as iPod, iPad and iPhone. Starting January 14th, the application belongs to Rabbit Hole and Sabda Drupadi can be downloaded via Appstore and iTunes for free in here, or pay for the complete version in here.
So what’s the different between reading fairy tales on gadget and book? “Bella and the Five Balloons” available in dual language, English and Indonesian. The unique software allowed reader to decide the course of the story, even changes the name of Bella with own name. Felt like a director. Wow!
