The Blue Lobster

From the same team who created the award-winning ASL/English bilingual storybook app, The Baobab, we bring you The Blue Lobster! Another fun and original story, The Blue Lobster is about a curious little girl who goes in search for a rare lobster! Available on iPads, this storybook app is great for young children, ages 3 and up. Children will enjoy rich ASL storytelling, beautiful illustrations, and a large vocabulary of both finger spelled and signed words.
