TURNING A CHILDREN’S BOOK INTO A MOBILE EXPERIENCE
What if a book could escape the printed page?
Parrot Carrot is a children's book that's all about rhymes, wordplay and strange animals. The authors approached us and asked us to explore what a digital version of the book might look like.
We needed to create an experience that would complement the physical book, rather than replace it. So we created Parrot Carrot Safari - a simple app that took the rhyming animals from the book and hid them in the world around them.
This proactive project marked the first time that Leo Burnett Sydney created a stand-alone retail product.
Strangely enough, a client presented this app to us as reference when briefing us for another project - without realising that we'd actually built it ourselves. We agreed with them that it was a great example of a kids app, and just the kind of thing we should be aiming for.
