Ansel and Clair: JurassicDinosaurs and Ansel and Clair: Triassic Dinosaurs two Top Picks… My advice is to consider purchasing the entire trilogy.

5 Stars – Ansel & Clair: Paul Revere’s Ride is that rarity in the iTunes store – an app that works equally well for grades K-5. My children’s school recently purchased two iPad carts and one of the challenges administrators have had is making sure there are apps on the iPads that are age appropriate [...] Read more
Take a ride through history with Ansel & Clair: Paul Revere’s Ride

If there is a problem, it’s that kids will expect more lessons ‘taught’ this way, and be disappointed that there are only three such award-winning apps so far. Ultimately, the Ansel and Clair apps could certainly be used to demonstrate why schools need iPads. http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/2458/take-ride-through-history-ansel-clair-paul-reveres-ride

What I love about the award-winning (and can we say many many awards) Ansel & Clair series, is that there is an awesome, well thought-out meld between fantasy (Ansel is from space and Clair who’s always by his side, is his trusty, fact-knowing robot) and reality (real places, people, animals, cultures and more). Clearly Cognitive Kid [...] Read more

What really held our testers interest was the interactivity offered by the app. They enjoyed dragging the camera over the screen to take pictures of animals. Further special effects such as a sand storm blowing across the screen that needs to be wiped away drew cries of delight. Extra puzzles that involved tilting the iPad [...] Read more

I had to police her (daughter’s) time on this app, as she didn’t want to put it down. But it still has me secretly hoping that Ansel and Clair will have future missions to explore the other continents and, therefore, putting the entire world at her fingertips.
