Blue Hat, Green Hat – Boynton by Loud Crow Interactive Inc.
DescriptionChildren's Technology Review Editor's ChoiceOOPS Blue Hat, Green Hat, Sandra Boyntons famous and funny book, comes alive with sound and zestily ingenious interactivity. This wonderfully clever digital book app will surprise kids and grownups alike. Turkeys may also enjoy it, if they can ever figure out how to turn the dang thing on. Three earnest animals and one misguided turkey learn colors and clothes. Though admittedly, the turkey never quite gets the hang of it. I have a particular fondness for Blue Hat, Green Hat, says Sandra Boynton. At age three, my son Devin had a surprisingly hearty laugh for a small persona laugh that would make everyone else laugh. I created this book long ago specifically to elicit that belly-laugh from him. It was great fun to re-invent this book as an interactive e-book app, collaborating again with my endlessly clever Loud Crow friends. The digital dimension gave us so many terrific opportunities for adding theatrical flair to this spare yet decidedly Vaudeville book. Far beyond any e-book experience, the Blue Hat, Green Hat interactive book app has all the magic and appeal of a traditional pop-up book, offering lively interactivity and nifty discovery. Features: The third Sandra Boynton book app, all of them created in collaboration between Boynton Moo Media along with the award-winning developer Loud Crow Interactive. Blue Hat, Green Hat follows their wonderful top-selling debut, The Going To Bed Book app, and the glorious bestselling Moo, Baa, La La La! app. Touch the animals to prompt them to move and respond. Touch OOPS to cause a different surprise on each page. Tilt your device to watch things slide and cascade. Dress the turkey with colorful pop-in/pop-out clothes Boynton has redrawn and recolored the original illustrations, and also added new touch-animations, for her enormously popular book, Blue Hat, Green Hat Wonderful resonant and wry narration by British Invasion legend, Billy J. Kramer (acclaimed reader of The Going To Bed Book app) and sound by Boynton & Ford. Includes an original soundtrack, "William Mattel Overture," a melody for toy crank-guitar, written by Sandra Boynton, performed by Michael Ford Realistic page turning interactions just like the original board book "The Big Guy Reads It" with word highlighting to help improve reading skills Or I want to read it myself to hear individual words pronounced with the tap of a finger What's New in Version 1.1Bug fixes and optimizationsCustomer ReviewsEh.. Not worth the money (1 star)This book only has 6 pages and it's not that interactive. You can click the words and it repeats it and you can click the clothing and says the color or it wiggles. It's not worth the 4 bucks. You find cheaper books that have more interaction. The last page is the only one that does something. But it is interactive! (5 stars) It takes some experimenting. But try opening the drawers in the dresser and then changing the clothes the turkey is wearing. Then clean up by putting the clothes back in the dresser again! Very cute BUT takes up too much MB (2 stars) Just like PETER RABBIT this takes up too much MB! It says only 28.7mb but actually takes up 128mb. Peter Rabbit takes up almost 600mb! I will change my review once this is fixed because for me this is a big issue. To check this out go to itunes, then click on your phone, then go up to apps on your phone, then sort by size.
