Going to the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect pumpkin is one of the best parts of Halloween. There are large ones, small ones, round ones and oval ones, but have you ever seen a square one? Kids iPad app, The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin by developer Oceanhouse Media is a nice story with an important lesson that applies year round.
The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin combines the book’s original text by Joe Troiano and artwork from Susan Banta with the narration of Bobby “Boris” Pickett (singer of Halloween favorite “Monster Mash”). Spookley the little pumpkin is never accepted by the others in the pumpkin patch until one night when a bad storm blows in from the bay.
Kids will love the cute story, colorful illustrations and interactive features of this universal eBook app for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. They have three ways to enjoy this eBook:
- Read to Me — The story is read and words are highlighted when pronounced.
- Read it Myself — Kids read at their own pace, the good old fashioned way.
- Auto Play — More like a movie, text is read and pages are turned automatically. Perfect for younger children!
