Bastei Entertainment Celebrates the Release of their Newest Interactive App Little Luna – Big Talent

By Melissa Auvil

The iOS educational app provides interactive learning components to encourage children to embrace individuality.

Little Luna–Big Talent is available for $2.99 in the iTunes App Store.

Discover the magic of bombardier beetles in Little Luna–Big Talent, Bastei Entertainment’s newest addition to their portfolio of mobile applications. Designed for children ages 4 to 8, this delightful interactive story teaches children about the importance of embracing their

own individuality.

While typically bombardier beetles use tooting as a defense mechanism in the wild, for Luna and her family it is a way to express themselves. Children can follow along with Luna as she introduces each of her family members and the unique ways in which they utilize their talents. Complete with mini games like

practicing toot target-shooting with her dad, doing yoga with her mom, and matching musical melodies with her brothers, there’s always something new to explore with Little Luna!

The story of Little Luna begins with a lesson on a bombardier beetle’s special talent- tooting!

Children will enjoy following along with Luna as she introduces each of her family members and the unique ways in which they utilize their talents.
