StoryChimes: Kid Tested, Mother Approved

In this evil evil world of constant stimulation and sex on television and kids obsessed with downloading the latest fart or poop gag to entertain themselves for five seconds, it's nice to see a high-tech device come up with a nice piece of throw-back entertainment.

It's called StoryChimes, and it's a series of interactive storybooks. Today we'll be looking at Little Red Riding Hood.  While the story is a bit more watered down than I'd like, I still love all the features and see it as a great alternative to full-motion, imagination destroying cartoons.



[Video Review by Johnny5]

It would be nice if this one had a "coverflow" view of the pages or a quick way to navigate to your favorite parts of the book, but I can only assume that these features will be added to later books.  In general, this is a great way to sit down and let your kids read along to a book--or a great way to have all your kids favorite stories with you all the time.

This game sounds like something my son would adore. I might grab this one..but where is http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/little-cook/id335340195?mt=8" rel="nofollow">Little Cook? That is my kids favorite iPhone/iPod Touch game and it's not on this site!! I have bought more than a couple of the games I have seen reviewed here but my little boy keeps going back to Little Cook. I would love to see it get a place on your site because unlike SOME of the game I see here, he is actually learning applicable knowledge from LC. Anyway, thanks for this review, I will check this out at the app store.
