One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish Review

Our Review

The storybook application “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish” is based on the original book by Theodor Geisel – most commonly known as Dr. Seuss. As with many of Seuss’ early books, there isn’t much “story” to this story, yet the clever, poetic lyrics and fantastical creatures aptly capture the imagination and wonderment of readers of all ages. For early readers, “One Fish…” keeps their attention through clever rhyme and offers lessons through word association and word comprehension. Further, the design of this colorful ebook application reinforces these lessons by highlighting words as they are narrated. Also, when objects are touched, they are identified by both spoken and written word. I appreciate how this application has a lot of movement with panning across each page for a more detailed look at different illustrations. The original artwork and text by Seuss work well in the iPhone/Touch format, and even better on the iPad. I was thrilled to learn it’s a two-in-one deal, since the one application works for both the iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad.

Editor's Choice - Children's Technology Review, June 2010

"From there to here,
from here to there,
funny things
are everywhere"

"Did you ever fly a kite in bed? Did you ever walk with ten cats on your head?" Such are the profound questions posed in this well-loved Dr. Seuss classic. Through his rhymes and riddles, Seuss's intention is clear: teach children to read in a way that is both entertaining and educational. From a one-humped Wump and Mister Gump to yellow pets called the Zeds with one hair upon their heads, children will be entranced--so amused and enchanted, in fact, they may not even notice they are learning to read!

New features only available in this e-book include professional narration, background audio and enlarged artwork for each scene. To promote reading in young children, individual words are highlighted as the story is read and words zoom up when pictures are touched. By combining the original text and artwork of Dr. Seuss with features that entertain and promote reading, this e-book appeals to readers of all ages.

Three ways to read this e-book:
"Read to Me" listen to the narrated story with words highlighted as they are read
"Read it Myself" read the book in its traditional form
"Auto Play" plays like a movie, automatically reading and turning pages. Great for younger children!

Additional Features:
Picture / Word association words zoom up and are spoken when pictures are touched
Professional audio narration
Custom background audio for each scene
Pages pan & zoom to accentuate the beautiful, original art of Dr. Seuss

Additional Dr. Seuss apps are available! We have eBooks, games, cameras, electronic greeting cards and more.
