HECKERTY’S STORY:
It's Halloween - and just when you thought "trick or treating" couldn't be any more fun, here come Heckerty and her faithful cat, Zanzibar, with a new adventure. Halloween is Heckerty's birthday — but despite Zanzibar's attempts to persuade her to go out to celebrate, she doesn't feel like it. So when "trick or treaters" dressed in costume turn up at her cave door, she and Zanz are scared. That is until they open the door and meet the kids face-to-face.
Jan Ziff’s extraordinary storytelling brings Heckerty to life in the great British tradition of Winnie the Pooh, Beatrix Potter, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and other magical stories. Creative animations and great stories make Heckerty ideal for entertaining bored children, bedtime stories, and helping kids discover the joy of reading.
Heckerty is also a proven fun way to improve English reading in children and adults. SLPs and other specialists are using the Heckerty stories for children with autism and other special needs.
Today hundreds of thousands of kids and adults around the world have met and loved this funny, green-faced little witch who has helped them learn. Heckerty is a rewarding experience that all ages will enjoy over and over on their mobile devices."
