Gimble the Happy Tree Frog
by Happy Little Rain Cloud LLC
Gimble the Happy Tree Frog follows Gimble as he plans and throws a party to cheer up his friend. There are interactive animations and hidden objects to find on many pages, and the story incorporates some math elements in the form of fractions and addition as Gimble (and the reader) decides how many pizzas to order for the party. The narration feels slightly disjointed, like the voice recording was done one phrase at a time and then pieced together, but the watercolor artwork is lovely and the story is cheerful and well done.
