Fox in Socks has just been released by Oceanhouse Media. I had a chance to give it a try last night and it’s full of plenty of rhyming tongue-twisting Seussical fun. I have no idea how many takes it took to get the narration just right, there are some tricky sentences in this one! My [...]

Back in August, 2010 I reviewed ABC Wildlife! from the Peapod Labs. It was an unusual take on alphabet flashcards.

Cozmo’s Day Off is an interactive storybook from the folks behind Jack and the Beanstalk Children’s Interactive Storybook. I reviewed that app back in April, 2010 and found it to be a delight. Cozmo is a totally different type of tale but just as wonderful. Cozmo is an alien who’s having one of “those” days. [...]

Prince Bear & Pauper Bear was originally an award winning children’s book from author Emily Lim. Recently it was brought to the App Store and I’m so glad, it’s a charming story. Prince Bear & Pauper Bear live in the same toy store, waiting for children to take them home. One is a little bit [...]

Crazy Weather! has the most unique illustrations I’ve seen in a storybook app. I’m not up to date on all of my art terms so I’m probably describing this all wrong but here goes. The illustrations appear to be collages made out of different types of materials. Part of the fun for me was looking [...]
