An amazing interactive kids digital picture book! This timeless tale, based on legendary singer/songwriter Tom Paxton’s classic song, is about a mysterious, magical toy given by a father to his son, one that eventually gets passed down to his son’s son. The story celebrates a child’s sense of wonder. The witty, evocative lyrics spark your imagination: “It went Zip! when it moved, Bop! when it stopped, and Whirr! when it stood still!” The incredible and wildly imaginative illustrations lift the story to a whole new level. And now, MobiStories literally bring the song and almost everything on the page to life with a simple touch of your finger! The toy shines, spins and makes funny noises, UFOs fly around, trucks move back and forth, characters speak! Even the song has been given a light-hearted 21st century makeover!
Listen to, sing along and read the lyrics on each page, then play as long as you want finding the magic hidden within the pictures while enjoying the instrumental version of the song. When you’re done, swipe to zip to the next page! Makes a great digital childrens book gift for Christmas, holiday or birthday!

“The goal of MobiStories is ‘to improve reading in an entertaining and accessible format to improve literacy.’ In a day and age where everything is digital, why not make reading interactive?”
Accidental Mommies, of What’s That Smell?
Did you know that reading aloud to children helps stimulate brain development, yet only 50% of infants and toddlers are routinely read to by their parents? (Carnegie Corporation) The great thing about MobiStories online digital children’s picture books is that they’re there for you when you’re unable to read to the kids yourself!
MobiStories are the future of children’s digital picture books today! Add a few to your iPhone or iPod and take them with you to the airport, doctor’s office or on a car trip. You’ll be amazed at how transfixed they become, and it’s good for them!

“I think we have to have fun if we’re going to engage kids, but once they’re engaged….this (MobiStories) was reading, this was listening, this is readiness. It’s perfect, too, because it’s one on one and when we think of individualizing, that’s what this does. It’s a personal individualizer. It engages kids in the reading process. It’s good for the learning strategies for reading. I think it’s great.”
Laura M. Viel, professor of elementary education and gifted education teacher

The best part is that pretty much any MobiStory can be viewed by children of any age 2 – 8, as the kids don’t have to be of reading age to enjoy the stories with sound effects and music. They’re starting to recognize the words that appear on the page as they’re being read to.
