If you read Bert Baboon with your kids make sure you have some time as this book app will take a lot longer to read thanks to all the interactions and games spread out through out the book. First, Fun Educational Apps liked the story. It offers a nice introduction to approach the discussion about self esteem and self acceptance with the kids. Going over the story your kids will discover that sure, if you are different you can try to hide it but sooner or later, your true self always come back. The story help kids to look at differences and realize that it is not because you are different that you are not likable.
