Touchy Books – Goblin Forest and Moon Secrets is another reading app and what is more important than reading? The difference between this app and most of the others is two things. First the book has a very interested way of involving the reader. Watch the video for my four year old’s favorite part. Then it also highlights the words if you are in the read to me mode. That is really neat and together it makes for a very useful reading app.

I have said before that I like it when the book can read to you. It makes it like a movie for a young child who is just learning to read–like my four year old. What is great about that style of app is that you can also read it yourself–something my ten year old loves to do.

This app is really an iBook replacement for kids. There are plenty of iBooks that looks similar, but this app allows me to pick a new book in the app and holds the book in a bookshelf for me. A nice feature above the standard iBook experience and I bet it allows the developer/publisher a little more freedom. The did well with the execution in my opinion.

Check out the video for more details, but here is the rating:

Attention – 5
Learning – 5
Fun – 4

Total – 14 a must have app in my opinion.
