Dr.Seuss Hunches in Bunches

Dr.Seuss Hunches in Bunches

March 2 is Dr.Seuss birthday.  For the next two weeks there will be a series of posts and giveaways around Dr.Seuss.  Please make sure stop by everyday to discover something new.  Also tomorrow will be the first time live connection with Mom’s Library on iGameMom, where parents share learning ideas with each other.  Everyone can link up a great learning article to the library, including your own post.  Please visit tomorrow around noon for tons of learning ideas and giveaways.

Today’s review is a Dr.Seuss book app, brought to you by Stephen Greene.  We don’t have his bio yet, we introduce him next time.  Let’s see what Stephen have for us.

One of the recent releases from Oceanhouse Media is a new Dr. Seuss offering Hunches in Bunches.  It has all the thrilling rhymes and funny word plays that you would expect from a Dr. Seuss story, along with the distinctive artwork that is almost as famous as the stories.  The story follows a young boy and his dog as he tries to figure out what to do with his day.  He has a lot of hunches, which all appear in his imagination dressed in outlandish hats as he struggles to find the best outcome, but he just can’t decide which of them to follow.  Children will enjoy the rhythm of the poem as well as the ability to touch different parts of the pictures and interact with them.

This book app is ideal for parents to read to their kids from the age of 3-6, as well as for kids to read to themselves from 6-10.  It is also, of course, perfect for the kid inside every adult.Dr.Seuss Hunches in Bunches Book App

App Features:

  • Three ways to read: “Read to Me,” “Read it Myself,” and “Auto Play”.
  • Picture / Word association — words light up and are spoken when pictures are touched.
  • Individual words are highlighted and are read aloud when tapped.
  • When a background picture is tapped the word for that picture appears along with the pronunciation.
  • Professional audio narration and custom background audio for each scene.
  • A record feature enables you to record yourself reading the story and then play it back instead of the professional narration.
  • Pages pan & zoom to accentuate the beautiful, original art of Dr. Seuss.
  • This ‘Universal App’ is optimized for Retina displays and the iPad.

iGameMom comment

While the boy in the story eventually decides on which of his hunches to follow, it takes a long time and he seems quite at a loss for a way to decide.  After reading this book with your child it might be a good opportunity to talk about how he or she makes choices to arrive at the best decision.

    My son loves all the Dr. Seuss books I’ve read to him so far. I bet he will love this one just as much as the others. And I also love the read to me apps!

    We love Dr. Seuss in our house! This app looks great– I’d love to win since I don’t think I’ve read this title. Thanks for the chance!

    • Sorry you did not win. But the book is on sale for $2.99 right now, if you still want it, this is a good opportunity.

  • I would love to win the Dr. Seuss Hunches for Bunches app for the kids at our new Mandarin Club. We are running a new afterschool club for primary school aged kids to learn Mandarin while having fun. They are all very tech savy and so any apps are a great teaching tool because they are so much fun!
