The Lion King Roars onto Your iPad

March 6th, 2012 Marge "MaggieB" Burkell

…an Apps for iPads Review!
Disney has just released their Lion King app for iPads, iPhone and iPod Touch that follows the movie of the same name.  Offering all the beautiful illustrations, musical score and story line of the movie it is a nice alternative to a traditional book.
The app has a cute beginning with Timon requesting your assistance in uncovering the title so he can get the show on the road, along with the familiar music associated with the motion picture.

While less expensive than some of Disney’s more embellished apps we have grown to expect a bit more from Disney [...]

March 2nd, 2012 Marge "MaggieB" Burkell

…an Apps for iPads Review
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! You would be 108 today! You were actually born Theodor Seuss Geisel, but we all knew you as Dr. Seuss, writer and poet extraordinaire!  You published 46 books in your lifetime and we continue to enjoy them today! You wrote The Lorax in 1971 but it is loved just as much today as that day!
The Lorax is the favorite of my daughter, Allison, born in 1980. She loves Dr. Seuss as much today as when she first heard his books in our home. She now reads them to her own kids drinking hot chocolate [...]
