Together with Soundprints, the publishers of Smithsonian Institution titles and other books for young readers, Oceanhouse Media lets kids explore the Cretaceous period with its all new book title.
“As an app, It’s Tyrannosaurus Rex! comes to life with bold illustrations, great sound effects and an easy-to-follow narrative, all the while keeping in mind its young audience,” said Claire Fennessey, Chief Marketing Officer at Palm Publishing, LLC, home of the Soundprints imprint. “Kids love dinosaurs and this story takes a fun and educational look at life in the prehistoric world.”
It’s Tyrannosaurus Rex! teaches kids about some of the prehistoric creatures that once roamed the earth. Written by Dawn Bentley and illustrated by wildlife and natural history artist Karen Carr, this digital book is a wonderful teaching tool for young kids. With the seal of approval from paleontologists at the Smithsonian Institution, parents can be sure the information included in the app is accurate.
Kids will follow along with Tyrannosaurus Rex as she interacts with other dinosaurs and searches for food. They’ll also learn dinosaur names and interesting statistics during their educational journey in a prehistoric world.
