Oceanhouse Media Releases The Berenstain Bears Do Their Best And The New Baby
January 14, 2011
Oceanhouse Media continues to bring classic children's books to new life. Today, Oceanhouse offers The Berenstain Bears Do Their Best and The New Baby available 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 Mercer Mayer and Stan & Jan Berenstain.
The Berenstain Bears Do Their Best
• As the story unfolds, the Bear Family enter their homemade kite in a kite flying contest. "Just wait and see, with the special talents that God gave me!" They work hard and do their best, but with all the negative comments they hear from others, will their kite actually fly - let alone win the contest?
The New Baby
• As the story unfolds our funny young hero, Little Critter, has to get used to a new baby sister. This is a problem as the baby doesn't pay attention when he reads to her. She always cries when he makes silly faces and she can't understand the jokes he tells. It seems like an impossible task, but Little Critter finally figures out what you CAN do with a new baby, and in the process becomes a very good brother!
The Berenstain Bears Do Their Best and The New Baby are both universal apps compatible with iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch running iOS 3.0 or later. The Berenstain Bears Do Their Best is available in the App Store for $2.99, while the short story The New Baby is available now at just $1.99
