Are you going to use Puppet Pals or Little Birdy to create your story on the iPad? Why did you choose the app that you chose? Give two specific examples.
I would use Little Birdy to make a story because you can draw pictures
by changing the color and making shapes.Secondly,you can take a picture instead of drawing one.Finally, you can add a text and chose what font you want your text to be.

I piked little birdy because you can print your story out and publish it. I also picked it because you can cut around your character.

Nora, I think you will enjoy cutting out around the characters. It makes it fun to move to puppets around to show the action too!

I picked Little Birdy because they didn't have a bear in Puppet Pals.
Also I liked the pictures.

Grace, That's a great reason, especially since the grizzly bear is your main character. Can't wait to hear your story!

I would use Little Birdy because it is more efficient than Puppet Pals, and more like a story than Puppet Pals. Little Birdy also lets you publish it. Puppet Pals might be more fun though, but whats fun isn't always better.

Brenden, It is very cool how you can set up the entire set of each scene and separate the beginning, middle, and end with scene changes. Cannot wait to see your final product!
