“Grandmaster Melle Mel has done it again! Melle Mel and Casey have written and produced a read ’n’ rap fable with a new message for our youth through story and hip-hop songs, to help kids choose the right path of activity-not passivity. Read ’n’ rap with your kids and join Melle Mel and Lady Gaga as they give Grammy-worthy performances. It’s “The Message” that counts and Melle and Casey are our kind of messengers for the future.”
— Quincy Jones

"Amazing! This app is one of the most innovative apps on the market. As time goes on, the need for educational technology increases as well. This app does an amazing job on combining attention grabbing mechanisms with reading and the fundamentals of language arts as well as integrating the importance of exercising and morality. There are multiple languages that the book can function with (awesome for ESL kids) and a variety of modes including recording, making your own songs, and games. This is the must have app for anybody that interacts with kids!"
