Sassy Cassie is not just another pink, girly princess book…because this bold little girl has got some sass!

Sassy Cassie is spunky and creative and nothing is going to stop her from making her mark on the world. Her surprise artistic creation at the end of the book is exasperating, but also lovable. PicPocket Books brings quality children's picture book literature to digital media. Now, children can enjoy their favorites stories on-the-go, even when they do not have a physical book to read.

This interactive CHILDREN'S STORYBOOK app promotes EARLY LEARNING and helps your children develop READING skills by connecting the audio words and sounds with the written word on the page. PicPocket Books offer a unique and new experience, combining the beauty of quality picture books with audio recordings and interactive visual text. This combination enables independent enjoyment for children regardless of reading level, subtle support for early readers, and nostalgic fun for adults.

Every little girl dreams of becoming a princess, and Cassie is an adventurous girl who strives to fulfil this dream. A box full of toys is no match for the fun had in playing make believe with Mom's make-up. Cassie explores with colours and loves to wear make-up to make her feel like a real princess. Cassie is thrilled when friends come over to play, as she can paint their faces in bright colours.

After a fun filled day, Cassie even dreams of all the great things that princesses do. When Mom's make-up is no longer allowed, Cassie finds another way to be creative. Sassy Cassie HD is great value, as it contains two stories in one, as well as being an educational tool to teach colours and colour mixing. Children will learn all about the colour wheel, primary colours, secondary colours, shades and tints.

After the lesson on colours, there is a Colour-Fun quiz. This is a great way of making children use their memory skills to answer the questions. The only thing I didn't like about this section is, the answers were only given in an audio format. It would be nice to have a visual re-enforcement of the answer, for example, the colour appearing on screen when the answer is revealed, to help the child remember the correct answer in future.

Sassy Cassie is a charming story, beautifully illustrated and narrated in a clear, precise manner. It is educational and entertaining and I highly recommend it, especially for little girls who love to play dress up.
