Stick Dog wants a Hamburger – what my child is reading.
Posted on September 10, 2011 | 3 CommentsRecently, I went to iBooks to compare prices with Kindle for a technical book, but while I was there, I started browsing the free books. I found the Velveteen Rabbit was offered for free. And Winnie The Pooh is always there free. And a few […] -
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 […] -
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 […] -
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 […] -
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 […] -

Dem Bones – sing along to this classic song. Dancing is optional.
Posted on October 12, 2010 | 1 CommentThis is flat out a silly app. But my son and I argue about the difference between silly and funny and right now, he prefers silly over funny every day of the week. So he enjoys this app. He likes the music. Doesn’t care right […] -
Question Builder – fun reading and scene comprehension games.
Posted on September 20, 2010 | No CommentsI really like this one. The have a question at the top, a picture at the bottom that describes a scene, and multiple choice answers in the middle. For any given picture, there are a variety of questions that your child can be asked. They […] -
Violet – what our child is reading this week.
Posted on July 31, 2010 | 3 CommentsI finally jumped in to get one of the more “interactive” children’s books. Even though the reviews on this book said it wasn’t that interactive, the storyline seemed more in line with a 5 year old than the other options (Alice in Wonderland and The […]
