FREE for a limited time – My Annoying Little Brother, is an interactive book about a girl and her younger sibling. The story was originally published as a printed book. Kids tap on the pages to hear sounds, find hidden animations, read the entire page, or read individual words. The story is told from 2 perspectives – the girl explains why her brother annoys her AND her little brother has a very different explanation of what is going on. The ending is sweet! This educational app would be fabulous for a lesson on point of view!

The e-book, 100 Diggers & Excavators, is FREE again for a limited time for the iPhone/iPad. This book is easy to use and features over 100 HD pictures of diggers in action with sound clips! There is text on every page describing a digger or excavator, its location, or the job that it is doing. The list in the upper right hand corner can be used to preview/access individual pages in the app. The book does have not to be read in order since it is not telling a story. It is simply describing the machines pictured on each page. Also included is a video clip of a digger in action. If you have a lover of heavy machinery in your life – you may want to check out this educational app. 🙂
