Jonty - The Dinosaur Who Could Not Go to Sleep is a bedtime story for children learning to read. Beautifully illustrated, the story stars Jonty, a young dinosaur who has trouble getting to sleep when he goes to bed. The app immerses children into a world of words and sentences.

This lite version of the app includes the ‘Auto Play’ mode where the story is played to the child automatically. It also includes:

• Beautiful illustrations.
• Fun animations and sounds.
• Text is highlighted as the story is read to you by a narrator.
• Specially selected main text font which has letter forms appropriate for beginner readers.
• Background music which changes as the story progresses, going from upbeat music while Jonty is playing, to lullaby-like music at bedtime.
• For added security and parental peace of mind, the app transmits no personal information and contains no ads.

All these wonderful features and it’s free!

If you’ve enjoyed Jonty’s story why not upgrade through a one-time in-app purchase?

The upgraded app includes all the features in the lite version plus:

• Interact with characters and objects to trigger sounds and animations.
• If your child gets stuck on reading a word you can tap on the individual words to have them read out by the narrator.
• Three additional modes that allow you and your child to enjoy the story in a way that suits them best. You can choose to have the story read to you by a narrator, or you can read it yourself. In the creative ‘Add To Story’ mode, you can drag & drop additional items onto the page, such as a rainbow or a robot, and record your own audio.
• Easy-to-use navigation includes the ability to return to the main menu at any time, and to move forwards and backwards through the pages.
• AirPrint scenes from the app for your child to color at home.

Jonty is compatible with the iPad® (2 and above) and the iPad Mini.

To download the app you will require a Wi-Fi connection. This is because, depending on your network provider and download limits, the size of the app may be above some device’s 3G limits.
