PicPocket Books iPhone App Review (with Giveaway)

by Cindy on July 27, 2010

This giveaway is now closed! Congratulations to Jessica, from Muthering Heights!

y iPod Touch is grimy. I’m not complaining, though! It’s grimy because my little boys are loving the applications sent to me for review by PicPocket Books and Kids Math Fun. Their favorite application today (they change their minds a lot!) is BlueBeary, a story about a teddy bear who, to quote my 3 year old “is a very sad bear because his girl went to school so he got in trouble and turned blue”. That’s not a totally accurate description, but it’s close enough!

I particularly like Sleeping Beauty and its beautiful illustrations. My boys, being boys, prefer Big Rigs. The narration and illustrations in these stories are all beautifully done!

We’ve also been looking over a few applications from Kids Math Fun. My 6-year old loves Learn to Tell Time and Kindergarten Math, but (naturally) thinks the 3rd grade math is a smidge on the hard side. That’s OK! I’ll save it until he’s bigger.

So, enough about what I think. On to the giveaway!

Win it!: PicPocketBooks would like to offer one of my readers free codes for 3 of their iPhone/iPod applications from either PicPocketBooks.com or Kids Math Fun. There are tons of applications to choose from!

How to enter: Just leave me a comment telling me which app you think you’ll like best!

Extra entries: I’m no longer offering extra entries in the interest of fairness. Hope you guys don’t mind!

This giveaway will be closed for entries at midnight, August 20, 2010. This giveaway is open to US iTunes users. Please use a valid email address in your comment so that I can contact you if you win! Please use one email address per entrant, per household, per IP address. Cheaters will be permanently banned from this site, no exceptions. Good luck!

Glad your little ones like the books and math apps!. Maybe they could wash their hands before fingering your iPod touch…! But, as you say, it is a nice reminder that they are enjoying the apps – and learning, too, through stories and math practice.

My iphone is grimey, too. LOL.

My son would enjoy any of the Big Stuff book apps, but especially the Dinosaur book.
