I love Heckerty — I first heard one of the Heckerty stories over 10 years ago, and I’ve been waiting for more ever since. Can’t wait to buy this app for my grandkids! Ann Rachlin’s stories are truly “royal” and amazingly captivating, and this app is exactly what we need to help raise the next generation of imaginative, creative, literate kids who understand both the power of technology and the beauty of language and stories that matter.
Looks like a winner to me!
So looking forward to seeing this come out!
I just love Heckerty - a great idea to get reading by making it fun. My 5 year old daughter who is even more computer literate than me loves the demo and can’t wait for the app to become available. This is the way of the future!
With love from Heckerty is perfect for all the chidren I know. It is a mixture of zany humour and a brilliant teaching tool for young children. I will be sending it to all my grandchildren.
Heckerty’s entrance into the 21st century brings smiles, giggles and laughter to all her little friends. That’s good for a start! Kids love her blundering efforts to help put things right. But Heckerty does so much more than make them laugh. And now as an App, she is emerging as a wonderful tool that will encourage even the youngest children to learn and explore while following their favourite zany friend from one colourful adventure to the next. Education through Entertainment! Love from Heckerty App is the way for today’s kids to Learn whilst Laughing. There is no better way!
It is great to see that Heckerty is still up there - high in the popularity charts - even if she does fly upside down! Through her zany humour she provides children with a super learning opportunity which is cleverly inter-woven with laughter and fun for kids of all ages. Heckerty - I salute you. May you continue to be of much needed service to humanity for another 409 years. You ARE a Star!
“Learn by laughing,” what a marvelous concept! It’s been a real joy to follow Heckery progress through the years, and now, as a mobile app, she will be available to a much broader audience. Can’t wait to share with my grandchildren!
