We Theives – Cute problem solver, though maybe a little dark.
Posted on April 8, 2011 | No CommentsThese guys are cute, no doubt about it. But the story line is a little strange, with them stealing treasures. Them stealing treasures without the ability to move on their own even – they need to be pushed and prodded through physics (gravity, levers, explosions) […] -
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 […] -
Solitaire Chess – if chess and the peg puzzle had a baby
Posted on April 6, 2011 | No CommentsThe kind folks at ThinkFun let me know about this one after they saw how much we enjoyed RushHour. They were very sweet and provided a promo code so that we could try this one out too. Basically this is the peg game – but […] -
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 […] -
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 […] -
Mathmateer – 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 […]
