mybookshelf – A Great iPad Book App for Kids
By 
I think one of the best things about the iPad is its entertainment factor and regardless of my location, I’ve always got a large collection of apps to entertain the whole family. If you’ve got little kids at home, here’s a great book app for them to enjoy at home or on the road. Created by developer mytales digital, mybookshelf offers readers a collection of six cute stories displayed on a bookshelf.
Children ranging in age from 2-7 will appreciate the entertaining stories, as well as their colorful illustrations. Each book is adapted for the iPad and gives readers two reading options. Read to me provides professional narration and brings characters to life on the pages of the screen. The read by myself option encourages independent reading from older children or maybe lets Mom and Dad spend some time reading a bedtime story to their little one.
Stories on the shelves include:
Mrs. McGee’s Coconut - A crazy story about a woman and her adventures with her coconut.
Panda-Monium - Discover what happens when a bunch of hungry pandas search for bamboo.
A Little Bit of Love - Mouse and her mother collect ingredients and put a little love into making a pie.
The Dancing Clock – A whimsical story featuring a monkey named Milo and the Delacorte Clock at New York City’s Central Park Children’s Zoo.
My Favorite Michael – Join the adventures of Michael as he spends the day as a businessman, knight and pirate.
The Ice Cream King - Teddy explores a world full of yummy ice cream before he realizes something isn’t quite right. What could it be?
I’ve reviewed quite a few apps from mytales digital and enjoyed every one. Although there are no interactive features in their latest app, mybookshelf is a nice collection of high quality books and sure to be one kids will like. There are no push notifications and consequently no annoying messages asking you to purchase additional books to add to the collection. If you’re looking for another good app to add to your children’s book collection, this one is a good suggestion. You can download mybookshelf from the App Store now for $3.99. Happy reading!
