With each storybook app I read from Oceanhouse Media, I realize this San Diego based company is in a zone. All their apps are similar, but then the quality is so high that is a good thing. Dr. Seuss, Gertrude McFuzz, $1.99, is a little less colorful than most other storybooks, but has a better moral. Basically, be happy with the way you are and how you look.Like almost all Oceanhouse Media storybooks, this app is for iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. The book is the story of a little bird named Gertrude McFuzz who is self-conscious because she only has one pathetic tail feature. At the beginning its black and white to make her seem all the more homely. Wanting to be prettier she starts adding colorfull tail features until she has so many she can’t even fly due to the weight. Like all Oceanhouse Media apps there are three modes – read to me, read it myself and auto play. Words pop-up and are spoken when pictures are tapped and the audio and video quality is very professional. The story isn’t quite as long as some others but is a few dollars less expensive as well. For my other children’s storybooks reviews.
