iGameMom comments:
I like digital non-fiction books for kids. Non-fiction reading tends to be dry and boring. With the digital format, the interactive features on the pictures and multi-media contents make the reading much more interesting for kids than the usual print books.
Book apps from Kids Discover have done a great job in integrating the multi-media content into a clean and simple user interface. Kids can read the top line summaries for basic information, or click through the pictures and texts for more details on each, if they are interested in learning more.
Washington DC by Kids Discover is a wonderful book app for kids. It works on iPAD. It is usually $3.99. It is now free for limited time.
