I am always on the lookout for ebooks that have a strong storyline (emotions, characters, etc) for use with young children, and that consider access issues for children speaking other languages/other literacy issues (The “record and share” feature available with some apps has helped, as an audio track can be recorded in another language/used to help a child access the story line/vocabulary.)

I also always looking for ebooks (and apps) that are well done and make content knowledge available, in an interesting way, to be enjoyed by young children and families. (use some of the free/reduced price app services to make these purchases affordable.)

i am hoping people will share stories of their ebook use/discoveries with young children. Some of our recent explorations/investigations: -pairing ebook use and real/hard copy book use. Does children’s interest in/enjoyment of a book/story change after having a media experience? - Are programs making app lists they are using in school/early ed programs available so families interested in considering apps for home devices have access to them? (Am currently using this service [] but am interested in other tools people may know about to make it easy to create/share app lists…) -mixing on and offscreen literacy experiences (example, reading the story Not a Box [], and children help to create a mixed media/ Book Creator version, inspired by the story.)

I am ooking for other stories of ebooks/use with young children (and/or recent research)- hope you will share yours!
