FrogDogMedia has introduced iStoryTime
(http://www.istorytimeapp.com), a series of
illustrated and narrated children's book
applications. The first three stories are now
available for download on the Apple App Store at
US$1.99 each.

Parents with an iPhone 3G, iPhone or iPod touch
can now turn their favorite portable device into
educational entertainment for the kids (ages 2-7)
when they're on the go. iStoryTime books are
available globally (English only) on the Apple
App Store in 80 countries.

iStoryTime is a self-navigating and
self-narrating book application. Kids can choose
between two narrators -- an adult or child's
voice -- or read the book on their own. The app
also automatically flips the pages of the book
while the child follows along. The words to the
story are also included onscreen so beginning
readers can make associations between the words
they hear and the words they see. iStoryTime
