Targeted at children aged 4 and older, Land of Mislaid is an interactive children’s story for iPad, created from the Dutch picturebook “Kwijt Weg Foetsie” by Jort van der Jagt. In collaboration with Jort and Studio Brain Muffin, YipYip created a beautiful interactive experience of the book with animation, music and interactive elements on each page. The book can be read to you by a narrator or you can read the story yourself.
