Featuring some of the best classic Dr. Seuss illustrations and a story that is perfect for early beginning readers, Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now! ($2.99 for Apple and Android) features a clean, uncluttered design, plus excellent text scaffolding that is typical of most Oceanhouse Media apps -- touch any picture to see the word fly out of the text to help you make the word/object association. In addition, you can touch any word in the text to hear it read aloud. In the story, Young Marvin K. Mooney has overstayed his welcome and the narrator has no shortage of ideas how Marvin could go. "You can go on stilts. You can go by fish. You can go in a Crunk-Car if you wish." Missing are the record-your-own voice features. Notice that our first download of this app kept crashing on the iPad Mini.
