A few weeks ago I mentioned a few apps available for iPads and iPhones and now Kirkus Reviews has a new section on iPad reads for kids. We're such trendstters here at Rockville Centre Public Library! One of the first five iPad book apps they reviewed was Popout! The Tale of Peter Rabbit which I already mentioned. Here are the other four they gave starred reviews and a little of what Kirkus had to say:
Alice for the iPad - "a powerful demonstration of the iPad's storytelling potential."
Bartleby's Book of Buttons Volume 1: The Far Away Island - "remarkably different in look, tone and structure from most story apps, a true original."
Green Eggs and Ham - "tap-to-speak words are playfully read and are optional, as are sound effects."
Teddy's Day - "it rewards patient readers while still providing a cozy tale for those who want to speed through."
