I’ve mentioned Ruckus on the website in the past, they produce quality storybook apps, many with familiar names. My Little Pony, Transformers, Curious George, Pecos Bill and more. I recently learned of their new service – Ruckus Reader. It sounds like they’re taking the Ruckus digital storybook library and kicking things up a notch, or [...]
