The Future of Children's Literature! ACTIONBOOX
Actionboox will transform readers of any age into giddy kids, transporting them to a time of wonderment and pure escapism. Actionboox uses the highest quality children's literature brought to life with rich animation and narration. "Atmospheric sounds draw the reader into the exceptional ambiance of the story, which is supported by an appropriate and professional narrator's voice, if required. Last but not least, various hotspots invite to interact with the App"
The future of children's literature may come in the form of an iPad app. The German iPad app publisher is a fresh player to the children's book market, they have the right blend to make a large impact! My hope is the content will be available to all children via the internet like Starfall.
The future of children's literacy may be delivered on an iPad or e-reader yet one constant will remain, great literature will always win out over gimmickry.
THE DARNED TRICKY TANGLED STORY OF THE LITTLE FAT DOG
The very unusual, loopy story oft he little fat dog is great fun for all animal lovers as well as all small and tall explorers. The witfully written story of a dog’s life contains dynamic film like animations, a vivid voice over and a great attention to detail. In the additional game small and tall users are dared to prove their ‚good nose’.
German version included!
BANANA SKIN CHAOS
A small leak will sink a great ship! Anything can happen if someone drops a banana peel in the middle of a small town street – and this new app will show you what “anything” can mean. Lilli L’Arronge’s successful book “Chaos in Bad Berleburg” (originally published by Jacoby and Stuart) now reaches for the iPad and at the end of the story the whole city of Bad Berleburg will burst with sounds and noises. Help to spread the chaos and turn the city upside down. It’s a blast!
THE CASTLE
The actionbook "The Castle" hits the spot for small and big friends of the Middle Ages. The user blazes his trail through a vast variety of information on a continuous screen. A vivid panorama unfolds before his eyes, which is accompanied by lots of sounds, a readers mode and suiting illustrations and images creating a small piece of art.
Plenty of in‒depth information playfully transferred and true‒to‒detail ‒ this is what we call actionbook. "The Castle" is knowledge everyone strives to acquire.
PROF. BUMBLE IS CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS
Professor Bumble is celebrating Christmas ‒ and the accompanying actionbook is just the right App to go with it, for everyone with a sense of humor who wants something to chuckle over in the holiday season. Amusing animations with illustrative sounds, a seasonal puzzle and playful details make "Professor Bumble" the perfect Christmas present for children, small and large.

"What is Professor Bumble doing in the holiday season? Celebrating Christmas of course! With his friends, Beluga and Badger, he is on his way to find the most beautiful tree in the whole forest. But Farmer Giles wants to celebrate Christmas as well ‒ and snatches their tree from right under their noses. A fine state of affairs! But Professor Bumble and his friends won't give up that easily."
