(*Never never never!)". At my school, it would be worth adding "Do count them up at the end of class (to make sure the students don't steal them!)"

I tried to download this game as soon as I saw it. Unfortunately, it's not available in our region. Why does iTunes has such policies where a simple educational game can't be acquired in all regions? It's very frustrating, and I think it is also unfair that kids from certain regions are deprived of some really good games such as Super WHY!

Maybe you can set it to the U.S. and gain access to some the apps not available in the U.A.B. Store. I just looked around online and I think you can change the country store in iTunes.

It might have to do with licensing in the different regions. You certainly are right that it isn't fair. Hopefully it will appear soon.
