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!

“These board books feature creative texts and brightly colored images. The words, while spare, have been carefully chosen to create a level of anticipation and excitement for even the youngest of listeners. The primary-color illustrations are bold and visual, and sure to help hold youngsters’ interest in the short, simple stories. ‘These’ titles are excellent for lap-sit programs or one-on-one sharing.”

Lisa Marie Gangemi, Sousa Elementary School, Port Washington, NY

Since reading is a very important skill for a child to learn here is way a child can enjoy reading a book but on a screen. I downloaded a book for my 2 year old over the weekend and she loved it.”
