“The Legend of Momotaro” is an interactive storybook that introduces readers to the traditional Japanese story about a hero born from a giant peach. The app, created by Ghost Hand Games, manages to teach readers about Japanese culture, language, and legends all in one beautifully illustrated digital picture book that’s now available for free for a limited time only!
We had the pleasure of trying out “The Legend of Momotaro” ourselves earlier this year and loved it. Check our review here.
Get this beautifully executed app in the iTunes store for free! No word on when it will go back to its original price of $2.99, so hurry over and download your own copy today.
▼ Enjoy some screenshots and a short video of the app while you’re waiting for it to download.
