okobooko - books for kids app for iPhone and iPad

Custom-designed iPad books that your kids will love! Read aloud and record your voice as you read, so your child can hear Mom or Dad read to them even when you’re not at home. Or why not have a grandparent record a story? One book is included free of charge – no subscription is needed and there are no monthly costs! So give it a try, we hope you like it!
Our books include fun animations and sound effects and encourage reading. We believe that this is what most children’s books should be like by 2015. Our children are spending more time using iPads, and we adults should be teaching them to use the device for reading, as well as playing games and watching television.

All of our books were designed exclusively for the iPad and we will be updating our library with more iPad books on a regular basis. The first two series of books in this okobooko release include:
Victor & Grandpa’s dog – (3 books) Get to know Victor, who makes an unexpected friend in Grandpas dog, who can talk! The adventures will put a big smile on your face and are much appreciated by kids aged 3-6.
The adventures of Lisa – (3 books) Lisa’s daddy is a scientist and he makes magic potions at work. Sometimes he brings his work home with him, and anything can happen. Lisa shrinks. Her toys come to life and in one of the stories she is transformed into a bird. You and your kids will love these books, they’re great stories for kids aged 3-6.

Coming soon: Books for kids aged 0-2.
