iPad Best of the Best – 25 Essential Children’s Book Apps
Now that the iPad has been around for over a year, the selection of quality book apps is large enough to justify creating a real library of titles, especially for children’s picture book apps. And any library needs a good foundation.
In place of what would have been Digital-Storytime’s 10th ‘Top 10’ list, this week I have whittled down my favorites to just 25 apps I would recommend for a well-rounded collection. This list represents just 10% of the 250 books reviewed on our site (and includes insights from previewing over 1000 book apps overall).
The list is in no particular ranked order, although it is broken up into categories to make it a little more user-friendly. [Click images for full reviews & iTunes links.]
