TEACH your monster to read 3 - Champion Reader
Teach Your Monster to Read: Champion Reader is the third and final game in this reading series. Following the style of the previous two animations, I created the trailer to the free online game where we see Your Monster with friends old and new explore a colourful universe full of dazzling new planets, meeting curious characters along the way and do silly things as he always does.

The award winning Teach Your Monster to Read created by the The Usborne Foundation has been a hugely successful game in aiding children with the early stages of reading since it’s launch in 2012. It is widely used throughout schools and homes all over the world.
I was asked to create a concept for the teaser trailer to introduce the second game. Using some existing character designs that had been developed for the game by the talented Chris Garbutt and Richard Wake, I created a short and fun animation teaser to create excitement at Your Monsters new adventure and gave people a fun view into his zany friends and colourful universe.
Since the second trailer I have been asked to create further trailers that expanded on the current style to launch the iPad version and third and final game.
