'' is a free interactive storybook app, available on the iPad and iPhone exclusively through the App Store in the Games category, featuring spelling and word activities that help familiarise children with common English words.
The app allows children to follow the rhyming story of Kim and Peter Picaroon who go out to play in the rain, learning about weather, clothing and colours as they get involved in the story.

Picaro is aligned with the Common European Framework (CEFR) and Cambridge English: Young Learners (YLE), the world's leading assessment of children's English ability.
Fox International Channels' BabyTV, University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations, and Kaplan International Colleges are supporters of Picaro.
