It’s nice to see a Dr. Seuss children’s book arrive on the iPhone in such a a fun and innovative way. How the Grinch Stole Christmas ($3.99, iTunes link) is the classic book with the original art and text along with some cool interactive features.
The book has a professional narrator that reads the book to you. Or, you can choose no narrator to read the book yourself. If you do choose the narrator, your child can follow along with the text, as words are highlighted as they are read. It’s a nice learning tool, as your child will learn to recognize the words.
Each scene in the book also lets you tap various areas of the screen, which will produce custom audio and make words and graphics zoom up on the screen.
Man, when I was a kid, books where made out of paper and they didn’t talk. How barbaric.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a $3.99 download from the iTunes App Store.
