Here is an iPhone/iPod Touch app with something extra special, Pigtails and Potbellies by Funji, Inc. . This wonderfully illustrated iPhone story book for children encourages use of prediction skills to make inferences about what will happen next in the story. A really unique feature about this iPhone/iPod book, is that each chapter of the book unlocks after 24 hours, so each day there is a new installment for your child to look forward to. My daughter and I tried out Pigtails and Potbellies. We really enjoyed making guesses about what was going to happen next, as a past-classroom teacher I realize how important prediction skills are to develop comprehension.
The artist behind Pigtails and Potbellies is Mike White, a designer at Funji, Inc who blogs weekly comics at pigtailsandpotbellies.blogspot.com since 2008.
Give Pigtails and Potbellies a try, it really has great educational value and it is only .99 cents. Search Pigtails and Potbellies Kids book on your iTunes Store!
