Free Download for Young Readers to Review CGMuse's New Animated App

Local kids have first chance to give feedback on storybook reading game, 'Pete and The Orange Fox'

NYACK, NY– May 24, 2017 – Kids in the communities of Westchester, Rockland and Bergen counties will have first dibs on a free download and the chance to review Pete and The Orange Fox, a new animated
storybook app that helps develop reading and spelling skills. The first in a series of story games for young readers, Pete and The Orange Fox was selected for the SpringPlay: NYC Game Expo at Microsoft, and NYC Arcade, while still in development.

Now CGMuse is giving young readers in the company's home community a chance to get a free download and
provide reviews. Their feedback, along with the continued input of the original artist-and educator- creators,
will be incorporated into the 2.0 version of the app, as well as the next story for young learners about Pinky the pig and his animal friends. Pete and The Orange Fox is targeted to early and emerging readers from pre-school through early elementary. CGMuse will be contacting potential young reviewers after the app launches on iTunes, June 1st.

Kids who are interested in being student reviewers should ask their parents to email CGMuse at info (at) CGMuse.com, or message the company on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/CGMuse/) or Tweet
them at @cgmuseworks.
