Ten In The Bed
© 2013 Twin Sisters Productions, Inc.
Nice illustrations and homemade music are mashed up with limited interactivity in this ten screen ebook. You can help the bears "fall" out of the bed with a swipe. Beginning readers can touch each word to hear it read out loud, although this process is clunky because you can accidentally select the entire block of text. Content is limited -- there is just one bear on each page to touch; although we always like to see a predictable story on an iPad. The app contains a music playing page, with songs about "10" including: Ten In The Bed; Ten Little Bumblebees; Counting To Ten; This Old Man; Ten Little Fish; and Counting by Tens. We didn't like seeing links to iTunes products on the last page.
