Apps for Children with Special Needs: Video Review of Horton Hears a Who

March 2, 2011 - PRLog -- ★ Dr. Seuss apps on sale in celebration of Dr. Seuss’s birthday! ★

The Dr. Seuss classic “Horton Hears a Who!” is now available as an omBook for your iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.

“I’ll just have to save him.
Because, after all,
A person’s a person
No matter how small.”

Horton the Elephant hears a small speck of dust talking to him. It turns out the speck of dust is actually a tiny planet, home to a city called Who-ville, inhabited by tiny inhabitants known as Whos. Their Mayor asks Horton to protect them from harm, which Horton happily agrees to do, proclaiming throughout the book that “even though you can’t see or hear them at all, a person’s a person, no matter how small.” In doing so he is ridiculed and forced into a cage by the other animals in the jungle for believing in something that they are unable to see or hear. How will Horton and the Whos escape this predicament?

New features only available in this omBook include professional narration, background audio and enlarged artwork for each scene. To promote reading in young children, individual words are highlighted as the story is read and words zoom up when pictures are touched.
