Public Service Announcement

Children's Technology Review is a monthly Consumer Reports-like PDF newsletter "designed to summarize the latest products and trends in children’s interactive media." They review lots of children's apps, of course, and they've ventured into book app territory, as well. Their focus, natch, is on the quality of the technology rather than the text and illustrations, but they got it right when they included Loud Crow's Popout! The Tale of Peter Rabbit on their list of Best Apps for Kids of 2010.

>If you haven't checked out Loud Crow's apps yet, you'll be blown away with their latest joint venture with Sandra Boynton - one of our favorite bed time books, The Going to Bed Book. Love the features that enhance, not distract from the original look and feel of her timeless board books.
