Those of you who follow my blog regularly know that I like to showcase new apps from time to time. Today I am pleased to do just that again.
This app, narrated by former Democratic Congresswoman, Patricia Schroeder, is delightful! The House that Went on Strike, is a rhyming, musical and interactive new kids book app that teaches kids (and their parents) respect for their home.
Ms. Schroeder, now of Orlando, had a remarkable political career, including running for president twenty-five years ago.
Rania Ajami, Filmmaker and Jumping Pages founder, approached Pat to narrate the new app. Happily, she agreed.
Her memoir, titled "24 Years of House Work...and the Place is Still a Mess," is a fun play on her years in the House of Representatives.
And, in her former publishing role, she provides a great perspective about kids book apps in a just penned article called "A 'House' Grandma's iPad Story" that can be found on The Huffington Post. Her work on the app is getting great reviews. Wired and Smart Apps for Kids both love her work and the book app!
I want to thank John Casey, Director of Marketing and Development at Jumping Pages for providing information on this terrific new app. Jump, don't walk to get it!

Sounds like a really great app. Almost makes me want an iPAD. Thanks for showcasing.
ReplyDeleteI guess that is the new age for all learning; ingenious apps. What a fun way to teach and learn. My son is starting nursing school and he was instructed to buy an I-pod touch for apps in his clinicals. Great post Nancy.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a different world. Sounds like your son is right up there with the techie world for his clinicals.
DeleteThanks, as usual, Susan, for your support!
That sounds great! Thanks for sharing about it, Nancy. My grandkids love those interactive things.
ReplyDeleteYes, young people live in a different world than we did! My two "grandgirls" love it as well.
DeleteThanks for your comments, Connie.
The images are crisp and inviting. Thanks for sharing this new app with me.
ReplyDeleteSusan, wow! nursery school is requesting the purchase of iPod touch...amazing.
I guess I shouldn't be so amazed. My husband has resisted technology for just about forever and he took over my iPad during our last vacation. Enjoying different apps of reading the NY Post and Daily News, keeping up with the NY Giants and all other sports. He actually asked me why I'm not reading so much on vacation and I stated you've taken over my iPad and my books are on there. With his b-day being tomorrow the girls and I went out and purchased him an iPad. Can't wait to give it to him and get my iPad back.
All the best,
Donna
Thanks for your comments, Donna! Happy Birthday to your husband. Bet he will love his new iPad!
DeleteDonna, I think Susan said her son is going to NURSING school. ha, ha
ReplyDeleteNancy, this is an interesting post. I'm always years behind, so I might never get an iPod.
You never know, Barbara!
