Using an iPhone & iPad in Thailand Tips, App Reviews and News for the iPhone and iPad by Richard Barrow

Free Talking Books for Kids

If you have kids and an iPad then you should rush to get these Talking Books while they are free. These two apps, iReading – Stories Collection I and iReading HD – Virtue Education Story Series are both produced by the excellent Apple Tree Books. I have already bought many of their reasonably priced books for Nong Grace. She loves them all. They are beautifully animated and clearly narrated. There are options to turn off the narration if you want to sit and read with your child. These two apps are presently free but you should be quick as I don't know for how long. But, the prices are reasonable even if you have to pay. If you are in Thailand, like myself, then you know how expensive good quality English books can be. These are great for expats living abroad with their families.

In a previous review I told you about iReading HD – Classic Fairy Tales Collection. At $4.99 for ten talking books it is really good value for money. If you liked that one, then you should also consider iReading HD – Classic Fairy Tales Collection II which has just been released with ten more books. This one is only $2.99.
