I Just Forgot – cute little book with enough interactions to help young readers
Posted on April 5, 2011 | No CommentsI wasn’t familiar with this Little Critter series, but the dude kind of grew on me. He’s not perfect, making him much easier to relate to. I like books with a clear, simple message and this one fits the bill. We go through the day... -
ItzaBitza for the Mac – great for early reading comprehension
Posted on April 3, 2011 | 1 CommentWe’ve written about the great ItzaBitza line before when reviewing their app CocoaNaut. I happened to be reading up on what they’re doing lately, to get any hints about when their next iOS release would be and found out that ItzaBitza is also out on... -
The Three Pigs – pop up book deluxe!
Posted on April 2, 2011 | 3 CommentsI remember the books as a kid that had some sort of interaction with them. Usually tabs you could pull to pop up a tree or make someone’s tail wag or sometimes, change an image in a window by having the “blinds” change. All sort... -
Free the Fobbles – fun little two player game
Posted on March 31, 2011 | No CommentsThis one was made by a fellow Corona developer. It is a nice, simple game, designed for two players. Kind of wish we had thought of it. Basically, one removes little logs that allow the Fobbles to fall down to the ground. First team to... -
No longer free books …
Posted on March 30, 2011 | 2 CommentsSeems like Yoplait Kids is sponsoring some iStoryTime applications, so their books (normally $.99) were free for a limited time. We enjoyed Peanut Butter Bob more than the Invisible Alligators or Wiener Dog Magnet. Partially because it was an easier story to read – the... -
Rocket Math – can math practice be addictive?
Posted on March 30, 2011 | 1 CommentWhen I found out the developer of Stack the States had a math app, I knew I wanted to give it a try. I checked out the game before unleashing my kid on it – and immediately noticed it’s a very rich app with beautiful... -
StackEm – great board game for two.
Posted on March 29, 2011 | 3 Comments* note – just got word that this game has been taken down due to conflict between Goblet and Stackem, I’ll keep an eye opened on this, but for now seems like the game has been removed* We’re at the point where the restaurant menus... -
Max and the Magic Marker – All the goodness of Trace, plus some.
Posted on March 29, 2011 | No CommentsWe love Trace. It’s a great game. But at the same time, we love Harold and the Purple Crayon. Max and the Magic Marker is their child. Max has got a challenging world he needs to get through – and you’re the one to help... -
Cut the Rope – a lot easier to argue the educational merits than Angry Birds.
Posted on March 28, 2011 | 1 CommentOkay – so I’ve tried to say that Angry Birds and its physics engine can be educational, but it was a stretch and I knew it. Cut the Rope, another popular, cute little game has been a lot easier to convince mom of its edutainment... -
Albert – a truly unique game that captured our attention all weekend.
Posted on March 28, 2011 | No CommentsAlbert is like no other game we’ve seen. Apparently, they’ve created the graphics by cutting out over 1,000 cardboard figures, photographed them, then imported them into the game. It gives the game a very distinct look and feel. The feel in fact, goes beyond just...
