Whether you have a little one to entertain or whether the little one within you is still going strong, you’ll be pleased to know that two Dr. Seuss apps have arrived in the Android Market just in time for the holidays.
The classic The Cat in the Hat and the timely How the Grinch Stole Christmas are both available for $3.99 each.
The Android apps, which come from publisher Oceanhouse Media, are rich and interactive applications intended to be both “engaging and educational” for young readers.
There are three ways to read each book/app. If you choose to have to book read to you, the apps highlight individual words as the story is read by a professional narrator. You can also choose to read the book yourself or auto-play. When you touch the image on your Android device’s screen, the words zoom up.
These apps also include custom background music and audio, special effects and edu-taining features along with the original artwork and text of the Dr. Seuss classics.
The app is already getting 5-star reviews from parents of young kids, and several have said it works well on the Sansung Galaxy Tab as well as traditional mobile devices.
Dr. Seuss apps first came to mobile devices on the iPhone back in March. Two iPad apps were rolled out in April, as well.
The makers of the mobile apps seem to be focusing on the two aforementioned Seuss titles alone right now; we’re hoping to see some Green Eggs and Ham action in the near future.
