Five Little Pumpkins as interactive eBook

Santa Barbara, CA (PRWEB) October 21, 2011

zuuka, via its publishing label iStoryTime, today released Five Little Pumpkins, the world’s first interactive eBook for the iPad, iPhone and iPod® touch available on Apple’s iBookstore. Developed at zuuka’s in-house studio, the interactive eBook takes advantage of Apple’s integration of the latest ePub3 technology that greatly improves the ability to integrate animation and sound for an immersive reading experience.

Released in partnership with HarperCollins Children’s Books, Five Little Pumpkins brings Dan Yaccarino’s illustrations to life in this perennial rhyming favorite of parents, teachers and kids alike. Ghostly sounds and spooky animations that activate when touched are featured throughout the book for the ultimate storytime adventure.

“Apple has done a tremendous job on increasing the capabilities of its iBook platform and we believe Five Little Pumpkins is a huge step forward in truly captivating and immersing the reader in the story,” said Graham Farrar, Founder of zuuka and its publishing label iStoryTime. “With numerous awards and top-selling digital children’s books, zuuka is a pioneer in innovating the storytelling experience and we are proud to be working with HarperCollins and applaud their enthusiasm for this vision.”

Toddlers and young readers are sure to enjoy the rhythmic story and vibrant and bold illustrations from Dan Yaccarino as he brings these pumpkins to life with personality and style. The iBook features read-to-me audio, hands-on animations and spooky sound effects throughout.

iStoryTime brings the joy of a kids' book to the convenience of the iPhone, iPad and iPod® touch and NOOK Color. iStoryTime books are illustrated and narrated, so children can enjoy the book even when parents are busy. Best of all, the apps and enhanced eBooks are simple to use because they are designed for kids two-years and up.
