Little Golden Books Now Available as an Interactive Storybook App

Tracey — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 08:34:24 +0000

I think this is a bad idea. Sure, you never know when you’re going to need to whip out a storybook to occupy/distract/engage a preschooler, but aren’t Little Golden Books meant to be chewed on and thrown across the room? Where’s the fun for a toddler in a book that runs on an expensive, fingerprint-attracting computer that no mom in her right mind is going to hand over to the little cutie? I’d sooner my kid played with a LeapPad or other electronic device that is built to withstand abuse.

Remember those Little Golden Books published by Random House? Infamously known as the most popular children’s books, those timeless stories are now available as an interactive storybook apps!

Earlier today, Random House announced that The Poky Little Puppy (the first of over 5 apps) is now officially available for purchase and download through the iTunes store. Originally published in 1942, this book is actually the bestselling picture book of all time!

…

By swiping your finger across the screen, you can open the cover (complete with Little Golden Books’ gold spine) to read the story filled with interactive illustrations. You can either watch and listen as the words are read to you, turn off the narration and read at your own pace (if a child gets stuck on a word they simply touch it to have the individual words spoken to them) or you can even record your own voice to play on each page.

In addition the new Little Golden Books apps offer a Hide-and-Seek Challenge that can be played at the end of each page to unlock bonus stickers. After reading the story, kids can use the stickers they have collected along the way to create their own storybook scene which can then be saved on the device’s photo album.

If you’re interested in downloading the new app, The Poky Little Puppy retails for $4.99, but is available now at the special introductory price of $3.99 through Apple’s iTunes store.

Pick Your Own Pesticide-Free Blueberries

Tracey — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 11:00:51 +0000

Although you can pick your own blueberries at several local farms, Frog Eye Farm is the only such farm I know of that doesn’t use any pesticides. My kids and I picked over 15 pounds of blueberries there last summer and froze most of them. We just finished our last bag a few weeks ago, so this is perfect timing for us.

Frog Eye Farm will be open every day from 8 to 5 this summer (not just weekends).

They recommend you call ahead at (571) 484-1149.

Free Coffee/Tea this Summer at Baltimore Coffee & Tea

Tracey — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 11:00:40 +0000

Baltimore Coffee & Tea’s Free in Frederick program is back this summer–scaled back a bit, but still a great program.

How it works:

From your phone, text Java Frederick to 313131.

This will automatically enroll you in the company’s text message list.

Then, at least once a week throughout the summer–and maybe more, you never know–they will send a message that says TODAY is FREE! Just bring your phone with you to the store any time that day (and that day only), show them the message and receive a free coffee or tea, hot or iced, any size.

You must show them the text on your phone, there’s one drink per person, and it’s valid in Frederick only.

Baltimore Coffee & Tea is located at 5209 Presidents Court.
