My friends at Scholastic put together the charming ebook app, I Love You Through and Through, based on the book by Bernadette Rossetti-Shustak. It’s a sweet book and simple app experience perfect for your toddler Valentine.
The text, written in first person, talks about all the ways the boy is loved.
I love your top side.
I love your bottom side.
I love your inside
and outside.
The narrator is a woman and the book has the feeling of being read by a mom. You can turn the narration off, as well, to be able to read it to your little one yourself all cuddly-like.
Each page has a simple illustration of a boy and a teddy bear that reacts when the iPad is tilted, and also when they are touched (hence the Scholastic Touch & Tilt moniker). This isn’t a pull-out-all-the-stops bells-and-whistles kind of ebook, which in this case is kinda nice. It’s a good book and app for littler ones, so the simplified interactivity seems age-appropriate.
The price seems a little high at $4.99, but I’m trying to get over that. I wouldn’t bat my eyes at spending that on a board book. It’s those $0.99 apps that have caused me to lose all sense of reason when it comes to these things. Five bucks is a bargain for my little Valentine.
I received a review copy of this app. I also know the gang at Scholastic who made it and they’re awesome.
