Take a look and checkout the this interactive media book in iBooks.
The beautiful, early 20th century illustrations include one-hundred and ninety-three original animated illustrations from twelve different artists, and the images are brought to life by nineteen voice actors. It it more like watching a movie than reading a book.
What we love about the book:
Cultural Immersion. My kids associate Johnny Depp with Alice and Wonderland. While, they love the Cheshire Cat they thought he was the "Thresher Cat". With Alicewinks, they learn about classical literature in it's purist form.
The voice of Alice brings the story to life. Hearing the inflection as she speaks makes some of the subtle humor easier for kids to understand.
The story is long, but reading the iBook version allows you to pause whenever you like.
In May of 2013, Alicewinks received the Kirkus Star for exceptional merit.
The book is interactive. Kids can easily skip forwarded and back among the pages.
When I asked the kids if they wanted to skip ahead, they both shouted "no". Translation 1-hour of peace and quiet.
