Do you think learning can be funny? Would you like to laugh while you learn English? Meet our award-winning friend Heckerty — a 409 year old green-faced witch, hilarious and with a heart of gold.

An Editor’s Choice by Children’s Technology Review, awarded 4 Stars by CommonSense.org, Shorty Awards finalist, a Mashable Kids Pick and proclaimed a “must have” by The Unofficial Apple Weblog — Heckerty delivers! The superb narration and enchanting animations are ideal for children 3-8 years old, as well as anyone learning English.

In Heckertys Valentine, Cousin Persnickerty boasts to Heckerty and Zanzibar that shes "the most popular witch in Spellbound" and shes received hundreds of Valentine cards. Heckerty and Zanzibar decide to make cards to send to each other, knowing that showing you care is about quality not quantity!
