Into the Snow – more interactive than book, but fun anyway!
Posted on December 5, 2011 | No CommentsGoing into this app, I thought it was going to be an interactive book. My first run through it showed me it wasn’t and though the interactive stuff was cute, I wasn’t that interested in it. There was a story, but it was acted out... -
Where’s my water – good physics puzzle game from Disney
Posted on December 4, 2011 | No CommentsThe Disney folks have some good apps on the iPhone for kids. Very kid friendly, but sometimes geared towards some of their brands. This game is different, since it is created around a new character, Swampy the Alligator. Swampy just wants to take a shower,... -
Casey’s Contraptions – physics game, geared towards kids with a iPad friendly UI
Posted on August 13, 2011 | 1 CommentIt’s a physics, Rube Goldberg game, with a slant towards children. It is a lot like the previously reviewed Crazy Machines, but it has a much more intuitive UI, and the main character is a little boy, which I think is more attractive to the younger... -
Bartleby’s Book of Buttons – a fun interactive book.
Posted on August 10, 2011 | No CommentsBartleby’s Book of Buttons is exactly that – a book of buttons and knobs and switches. Each of the buttons interacts with the page somehow, making this a storybook that really couldn’t be done without the iPad. Bartleby, the main character, goes on an adventure... -
Super 7 – Flight Control fun with a math drilling aspect to it.
Posted on April 17, 2011 | No CommentsSal busted me on this one, but I had the last laugh. When I called him over to show him a new game, he yelled back “Is it going to be a fun one or one that tries to teach me math?” Guess he’s had... -

What was I scared of – an easy to digest Dr. Seuss story
Posted on April 6, 2011 | 1 CommentOur son’s kindergarten class had a Dr. Seuss birthday celebration and his homework was to talk about his favorite book. He said he didn’t like Dr. Seuss at all. I thought it’d be interesting if he would write his summary up in the green eggs... -
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...
