It’s GIVEAWAY Friday, and we’ve got a great gift for you! Did you catch yesterday’s post about Tinker Bell and her newfound sister Periwinkle? Well, we’re continuing the fairy theme today. THREE lucky winners—yes, I said 3!!!—will receive a Magical Mouse Schoolhouse t-shirt AND the brand new app, Thumbelina, Magic story for iPad from Pogr Art.

About the app: Thumbelina, Magic story for iPad, though not a Disney application, is a wonderful addition to our cyber library! This beautifully illustrated fairy tale recalls the journey of the miniature girl Thumbelina and tracks her adventures in a magical realm of colorful creatures and fantastical whimsy. Interactive portions enhance the artwork and keep children involved in the story. My daughter enjoyed the light music that accompanies the story and truly appreciated the beauty of the tale. (*See more app details below.)

For your chance to win these prizes, by midnight tonight, email the correct answer to the following trivia question to jodi(at)magicalmouseschoolhouse(dot)com:

*Full App Description:
A miniature red-headed girl has suddenly appeared from a flower. Her enchanting beauty sways many hearts along her travels. She took a trip on a leaf of a water lily, flew on the back of a swallow, and made friends with the tiniest beings. Colorful montages reflect both joy and sadness within these interactive pages of this app. Thumbelina joins an unusual music performance, singing songs of joy to sunshine and summer flowers. A new friend’s charm vanishes, and is taken over by bitter disappointment. Cheerful chatter of birds with the rise of dawn and boundless freedom is replaced by boredom of reclusion. It’s also a possibility the days will seem endless in this silent custody. Despite whatever happens, brave Thumbelina is faithful to the voice of her heart, this voice guides her through all the miseries straight to the carefree kingdom of new friends.
