Mandy and Andy Renovating is a interactive children’s book for the iPhone that feature two cats. In this particular story, they go about trying to help a friend renovate a house that is apparently filled with hidden forest animals throughout.

I really like how these books made for the iPhone take advantage of the ability to engage the viewer by encouraging them to click/touch on various parts of the picture on the “page.” In this book, you click on parts of the picture to find these hidden animals. Also, this book comes in a few different languages: English, French, and Chinese and there are apparently plans to add more languages in the future. There is also the option to have the book read aloud, or the child can read and/or explore the book themselves.

There are getting to be a lot of really nice apps for kids on the iTunes store. My son is always so interested in building and projects – a story about a renovation sounds like it would be a big hit.

PicPocket Books has a selection of about 20 picture books for children on iTunes. Visit http://www.picpocketbooks.com or iTunes to check out the board books, easy readers, fairy tales and more.
