Does your child love Harold and the Purple Crayon? If so then you have to get this super fun touch app from Trilogy Studios. It has been available for a while for the Ipad but now is also available for the Iphone.

These novel interactive storybooks feature three distinct modes, engaging both parents and children in the interactive experience.  "Touch Tale" is the signature mode a child's interaction and exploration are required to tell the story.  "Read To Me" allows toddlers to listen to the story, focusing on vocabulary building and word recognition.  In "Read Alone," new readers or parents can experience the traditional book.
