My son's favorite Bus book has gone Digital! 

BusWhen my son was little he loved buses and Chris L. Demarest's Bus book in particular so much that I used that theme to teach him to read.

I taught him his letters by putting wooden railroad tracks together in the shape of letters and and then had him make the sound of the letter as he ran his favorite bus along the track.

You can find this and many more educational bus related activities on my lens Beep, Beep Goes the Bus

Why MobiStories... 

StorytellingStorytelling

Past generations told of legends and folklore through the ritual of "story time," often at the fireside.

These stories were passed to others by word of mouth as our ancestors roamed the planet.

When Thomas Edison unleashed the telegraph and Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press, the world of communication, mass media and storytelling began to change with a magnitude that these two individuals couldn't have imagined.

With today's rich technology the essence of a great story can be delivered when and where you want it.
Book Room Reviews
Buddy picked out two books, Ella the Elephant and Lumpy Bumpy Pumpkin. They were both darling books and they were easy to download and view.

Ella ElephantLumpy Bumpy Pumpkin

Lumpy Bumpy Pumpkin is an original tale of a pumpkin that worries about being different but in the end finds acceptance.

Children love technology, but they still love storytime before going to sleep at night. MobiStories help to increase the time and space available for storytime.

It's not a matter of technology being better or worse. It's the availability of options that makes technology wonderful.

Mom Two Ways: MobiStories
Mom Two WaysLAs soon as I started the story, my 3 and 5 year olds came running to the computer. (I haven't had a chance to try it on Daddy's iPod yet.) My 3 year old LOVES (I mean is obsessed with!) Thomas the Tank engine. He loved the Train story. It had simple pictures with short phrases. And, of course, sound effects! My 5 year old daughter (who loves music and dance) really enjoyed the (free!) Salsa for Kittens and Puppies, as well as Ella the Elephant--which both deal with music. My 10 year old (whose dream is to grow up and be a Mythbuster) loved the Magic Rocket.
Red Tricycle Blog: Lilipip and You Tube for kids
We've recently come across a site that make it safe to surf the 'net with little ones once again.

Similar to Lilipip, www.mobistories.com offers digital books for kids that can be downloaded to your PC or iPod.

Of course, we all know one-year-olds aren't suppose to be watching any tv, but when you're stuck on a long car or plane journey (or you simply need a few minutes of me-time), it's nice to know there are some cool options out there for quick kiddie entertainment.
