My 3 year old knows his way around an iPhone so I’m eager to find apps and lots to keep him busy with when we’re on the go. PicPocket Books are storybook apps that tell a story – a great alternative to lugging around books or playing a video game.
About PicPocket Books
PicPocket Books offer a unique and new experience, combining the beauty of quality picture books with audio recordings and interactive visual text. This combination enables independent enjoyment for children regardless of reading level, subtle support for early readers, and nostalgic fun for adults.
Our Experience
We downloaded I Can Do It, Too! and Round is a Mooncake and have thoroughly enjoyed both. The apps are very true to the original books, featuring the same artwork and text. Some of the books feature subtle animation to entertain kids but don’t detract from the story itself. Unlike some of the other apps we have for Preschool Boy, PicPocket Books are definitely less game and more book, which I appreciate. Preschool Boy doesn’t have to do anything but watch the story as its read to him.
Preschool Boy has really enjoyed “reading” his books.I’ve enjoyed having a good distraction for him when we’re out and about. And, I love that I have 2 “books” for him at any given time without actually lugging around books.
Great Selection
There are nearly 20 different PicPocket Book apps to add to your digital library – everything from Sleeping Beauty to Big Stuff: Dinosaurs to What a Pest! You can definitely find something to interest your little reader!
