Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 29 teachers on Teachers Pay Teachers.

“Perfect companion for the book! I read the story on our "beach day" during the last couple weeks of school and this activity was the perfect way to extend my students' learning! They are all really interested in coding, so this was wonderful! Thanks!”

— Madeline P, TPT review

“LOVE these digital book companions. I was able to have my 2nd - 3rd do them on Chromebooks and my 4th - 5th do them on their iPads. These are great for unplugged days as well as you can print the slides and adjust them to be printable activities too.”

— Chelsea D., TPT review

“I love that this can be a very simple and quick independent assignment. Great for end of the year and review of our Coding we have done.”
