Oceanhouse Media Brings The Berenstain Bears To The App Store With Three Interactive eBooks
September 24, 2010
Oceanhouse Media has teamed up with Zondervan to bring you three recent additions to a long children's classic. The Berenstain Bears and the Golden Rule, The Berenstain Bears Go to Sunday School, and The Berenstain Bears Say Their Prayers are available now in multi-feature interactive eBooks that are compatible with iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.
Each app has three ways to experience the story: "Read it Myself" allows reading and viewing the material in the same manner that traditional books would offer, "Read to Me" highlights each word as it is professional narrated, and "Auto Play" adds narration but also automatically turns the page when it is completed. This is a nice feature for very young children, or to just make the experience a little more like a movie.
Some additional features to help promote reading and provide even more enjoyment include words that are spoken and zoom up when pictures are touched, custom background audio for each scene, plus fun animations and sounds to help pages come alive. A wonderful combination of capabilities to compliment the passionate artwork of Stan and Jan Berenstain.
The Berenstain Bears and the Golden Rule
• Should Sister Bear ignore the new girl at school just because her friends do? "The Berenstain Bears and the Golden Rule" shows children how choosing to be kind may not always be the easy choice. But it is always the right one.
The Berenstain Bears Go to Sunday School
• Sundays find the Bear family busily enjoying all sorts of activities, but church isn't one of them. In "The Berenstain Bears Go to Sunday School," the children discover the value of going to Sunday school as a family.
The Berenstain Bears Say Their Prayers
• In "The Berenstain Bears Say Their Prayers," Brother Bear discovers that God answers every prayer in his own way and time. Children will learn, along with Brother Bear, that praying isn't just for bedtime.
The Berenstain Bears and the Golden Rule, The Berenstain Bears Go to Sunday School, and The Berenstain Bears Say Their Prayers are available for purchase in the App Store at an introductory price of just $2.99.
