25 In books & learning/ giveaway/ tech stuff

Sandra Boynton’s gone techy!

I was introduced to this new “app” for the iPhone and the iPad recently, and in a nut shell, I think it’s fantastic! We are huge Sandra Boynton fans over here. The books she writes are silly and fun and the kids just love them. (If you want to see all that Sandra has to offer outside of the app that this review will cover, click HERE to be directed to her site).

The app is The Going to Bed Book ebook app. Here are some of the key things that I think are fabulous:

  • I love how the words light up as the narrator reads along.
  • It’s very cute how the kids can interact with the book.
  • When they click on the animals in the story, some of them do very cute things. Like the kitten purrs…and pig squeaks…etc.
  • When they click on a word, it repeats the word
  • If it sits too long, it just turns off. Great for battery power.

For those of you with a device that allows children to play with it, this is a great addition. My kids really do like it a lot. Even little Adalynn. She just laughs and laughs when she gets the animals to do funny things.

Sandra Boynton will change bedtime forever when her first ebook app – The Going to Bed Book – goes live. With more than 5 million copies in print, The Going to Bed Book is a beloved part of many childhoods worldwide. A collaboration between Boynton and Loud Crow Interactive – the group she calls “overnight legends” for their stunning “PopOut! Tale of Peter Rabbit” ebook app – Moo Media has plans to create two more ebook apps of Boynton’s work.

Curl up with your iPad or iPhone and your favorite child and/or adult. Prepare to be transported.
