WolfOK, all you parents out there. Ever feel guilty that all your kids do is watch TV on your iPhone or iPod? Yeah, me too. That’s why I encourage them to play matching games or animal sound games like Animal Farm. But when that runs out where do you turn. Well, for I’d say 2 to 5 year olds storybooks are another great option and Stepwork’s The Boy Who Cried Wolf, $0.99, is very impressive. When you open the app you are taken to the screen at the top left. You can have the story read to you or try and read it yourself. Select your language (English, Spanish or Cantonese) and off you go. I just hit read to me and hand my iPhone to my three year old. The story rings when its time to turn the page which is as simple as touching the arrow on the bottom right. A three year old has no problems turning the pages and having the recorded childs voice read the entire story to him/her. The pictures are cute and have a little bit of movement in them. My only problem with this app is I haven’t easily found another ten classic stories to add for a little variety. Stepworks also has the Little Red Hen and another storybook should be out soon. I’ve also come across Five Little Monkeys, Bumblebee Touchbook and The Bird and the Snail but that’s about it. All of these are a little different and IMO not quite as good as The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Disney – where are you???

For fun I just filmed the video below where my 3 year old starts the story, but decides he wants Animal Farm instead this time. He really was liking the wolf in the story the past three nights.
