{Brag Worthy Christmas!} Winter's Tail Nintendo DS Game Review
Meet Winter the Dolphin Everyone!
“Winter is a dolphin. Just over two years ago, when she was a baby, she was rescued from a crab trap, her tail seriously damaged. Winter was rushed to Clearwater Marine Aquarium, a marine animal hospital. It wasn't clear that she would survive. She did, but eventually the tail fell off and Winter compensated by swimming more like a fish than a dolphin which was seriously damaging her spine. But for the last year, Winter has been learning how to use a prosthetic tail. The idea came from a company that makes prosthetics for humans. It was very challenging but Winter is thriving and using her new tail with great command. The word has gotten out about Winter. Visitors are traveling in droves to Clearwater to visit Winter who has become an inspiration to adults and children alike, especially to children who are amputees themselves. The tale doesn't end there. The special technology used for Winter's prosthetic tail is being used to develop prosthetics for Iraq war veterans who have especially sensitive injuries. “ The story of Winter as told by Isabella, Juliana and Craig Hatkoff.
I received the Winter’s Tail Nintendo DS Game and was excited to open it and start playing! This is really a game for young children and can help with some basic skills such as reading! There are several Minigames that help you take care of Winter and her new tail, it even includes facts about Dolphin Training and Marine Biology. I had lots of fun Painting with Winter and Making my own book where you can tell Winter’s Tail in your own way! There is also an interactive Book that has really amazing pictures and animation and it includes a read-along feature to help those little ones learn to read! I love how innovative it is and its simple and basic so anyone can play it!
