Make It iStoryTime With FrogDog Media's Latest Children's Book: Kung Fu Panda 2

May 19, 2011
Spend some time with the kids tonight experiencing the latest iStoryTime eBook. FrogDog Media's latest entry into their collection of narrated children's books is the Kung Fu Panda 2 Storybook. Retelling the story of the upcoming motion picture Kung Fu Panda 2 in an easy to follow and enjoyable children's book form, the Kung Fu Panda 2 Storybook contains actual image stills and audio from the movie. Amongst the narration, experience the humor of Jack Black as the voice of Po and the snide seriousness of Angelina Jolie for the voice of Tigress. As with most other eBooks aimed at children, the Kung Fu Panda 2 Storybook has three reading options. Auto Play works like a slideshow movie, narrating each page, then moving on automatically. Read To Me still provides the narration and character voices, but page turning is manual. Lastly, Read It Myself removes the narration and requires manual progression of pages and text. Performing a single tap on the screen during reading or playback will show or hide the control buttons. There is a play or pause button, a rewind arrow to get back to the main menu, and the information "i" button. In Read It Myself mode, the previous and next buttons will not hide. Tapping on the information button will allow changing text highlighting, narration, and page turn options without needing to return to the main menu. Unlike many other eBooks, the Kung Fu Panda 2 Storybook contains the Create A Scene feature. Children get to choose one of three backdrops to place stickers of elements from the story to create their own custom scene. Stickers include multiple poses of characters, weapons, and environment items. Placement is easy and the final creation can be saved to your iDevice's Camera Roll for exporting to another app or your computer. Drag and drop stickers from the sticker bar onto the background. Stickers can be moved around using a drag motion, resized using pinch and un-pinch actions, turned using two finger rotation, and removed by dragging them to the orange icon below the save button at the top of the screen. Kung Fu Panda 2 Storybook is a universal app compatible with iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch running iOS 3.0 or later, and available in the App Store for $2.99. [gallery link="file"]
