iStoryTime

Finding distractions for your child while waiting at the doctor or a restaurant or during grocery shopping trips, can be difficult. I'm always on the look out for things I can easily stash in my purse to entertain my little ones when they get bored from waiting. Here's where iStoryTime comes in.

iStoryTime is a downloadable application for your iPhone/iTouch. It is a fully illustrated and narrated storybook. So even young children, who don't know how to read yet, can fully enjoy it. It's very simple to use...even my 20 month old was able to use it. The best part is, it doesn't take up any extra space in your bag or purse! The illustrations are colorful and cute and the narration is fun and entertaining. There are several stories available for download and for just $1.99, you can't beat the price!

I downloaded "Fred the Fish and the Squash That Goes Squish." It's a cute tale of a fish trying to convince a walrus and a penguin that there are better things to eat than fish. My son loves messing around with my iTouch so I showed him his new "game." He was laughing during the story and thought that Fred's voice was quite amusing. He and his little sister have enjoyed watching and listening to this story over and over again.

With this iStoryTime application, you can control whether the narration uses character voices, standard adult voice, or silent. This lets a child who can read, read it on his/her own. There is also a manual or automatic page turning mode. It can be customized to fit the need of the child who is using it. This iStoryTime application would make a great addition to any iPhone/iTouch and is a great alternative to video games or movies.
