This post begins a series of book apps that I will be reviewing. I have been wanting to find apps that will engage my kids in reading through the use of their iPads. I still see a disconnect with my kids where they don't view their devices as opportunities for learning, but more for entertainment.
I will be sharing out reviews of my own accord in addition to checking out apps as a Cybils judge. I will be posting many reviews starting with this one called Sock Monster.
As always, I will always take feedback, suggestions, and any questions you might have.
Sock Monster is a book that I was not too sure about at first. However, the first time I read through the book I found myself laughing out loud. Something about this little critter.
I don't know that I would re-read over and over. Part of that might be because I am an adult. My son found it to be a funny story. My youngest liked to click the pictures.
The story is rather short. I think the book needs some other features to be worth it as it does cost $4.99. I know in the scheme of things I would not bat an eye buying a book at a store for $5 and would consider it a deal, but apps this seems to be a bit on the high side and does not have a lot more to offer besides the story.
But, the story is good. I liked it. I love the monster. It makes me laugh. I love the page when the monster has to eat the clothes on the line and you click anything not a sock! There are no ads or in app purchases which is a HUGE plus for kids like my youngest who constantly click those icons and make her mad which drive me crazy.
Overall, I liked the app. I really liked the monster and the story, but just not sure that $5 is worth it. If I could have a little monster like to use in my classroom images or a little plush toy...........
Art is solid. Animations work. Very colorful.
However, I did receive word that there is a reduced price coming up so I want to share that with you and in that case it is worth it! Under $5 and this app will make your kid happy.
Just to let you all know that Sock Monster will be available at a reduced price on the App Store for the week over Thanksgiving! (26th Nov-4th Dec)
