Amazing iPhone Applications for Kids

2010-07-26T02:38:00.000-07:00

Every parent knows the frustration a bored toddler can cause. The fidgeting - the whining - the tantrums! Wouldn't it be great if you had an easy, convenient way to amuse your child right at your fingertips? You do - iPhone applications for kids!

You may scoff at the idea that children as young as one or two could derive any benefit from playing with your iPhone. But take a look at some of the child-oriented apps on the market today. There are activities that build your child's language skills and others that hone your child's hand-eye coordination and creativity.

For instance, did you know there are apps to turn your iPhone into a tiny e-reader? While an iPhone may not be the best vehicle for reading War and Peace, the phone's small screen may be the perfect size for a book aimed at your child. For this reason, many iPhone applications for kids center around the act of enjoying (if not exactly reading) a picture book. The iPhone seems tailor-made for your toddler's little hands!

If your children have played with your iPhone at all, you've probably already noticed their obsession with it; it's almost impossible to extract the unit from a child's sweaty little grip. So there's no reason not to take advantage of this tremendous opportunity for learning! When you download children's apps to your phone, make sure that they're both entertaining and educational. Choose activities in which the child can participate rather than just things for him to watch.

Are you wondering about the bottom line - the cost? Not to worry - most iPhone apps only cost a few dollars at most, and many are still free. This applies to iPhone applications for kids as well as those for adults. Compared with the cost of most commercial video and computer games, this is a real steal, and a great reason to stock up on all your favorites!

So isn't it time to download some iPhone applications for kids onto your mobile phone? Do remember to put it in airplane mode, thus disabling all the functions that would enable him to make or receive calls - but then settle back to enjoy your child's entry into a whole new world!

Construct-O-Set is one of the best iPhone apps for kids on the market. Designed for toddlers just learning shapes and colors, it also builds hand-eye coordination and creativity. Visit them today for more quality iPhone apps.

His Illegal Self by Peter Carey - Audio Book

"Che is a precocious young boy raised in isolated privilege by his New York grandmother. Yearning for his famous outlaw parents—radical 1960s activists who are now among the FBI’s most wanted—he’s denied access to television and the news. But he takes hope from his teenage neighbor, who predicts, “They will come for you, man. They’ll break you out of here.”

One afternoon, the prediction appears to come true. Soon Che, too, is an outlaw, fleeing into the subway and pitched into a journey that leads to a hippie commune in the jungles of tropical Australia. Here, Che slowly, bravely confronts his life, learning that nothing is what it seems."

First Generation: The Story of Annie audio download

"First Generation is the story of great-great grandmother Annie, an iguana, who was brought to the United States from Mexico. It follows her capture, journey, and acclimation to her new home.

Young listeners will experience Annie’s feeling of loss and loneliness, her apprehensions and fears, and most importantly how she deals with these feelings, and overcomes perceived setbacks which are not actual setbacks at all.

I wanted to convey these important concepts in addition to many others, including being a first generation citizen, learning to adapt in a new environment, life away from family and familiar faces, remembering lessons and teachings, dealing with bullies and prejudice, and last but certainly not least...hope!"

Curse of the Blue Tattoo, L.A. Meyer’s sequel to the enormously popular Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary "Jacky" Faber, Ship’s Boy is just as bawdy and entertaining as the original.

Left in Boston by the H.M.S. Dolphin crew when they discover her true sex, Jacky Faber finds herself navigating entirely new waters. It turns out that bloodthirsty buccaneers have nothing on the young ladies at the Lawson Peabody School! As Jacky observes, "…they’re like any bunch of thirty or so cats thrown in a sack and shaken up good. They’re mean in ways that boys never even thought of being."

It isn’t long before Jacky shows her true colors by being arrested for "exposing a Female Part" (her knee) while jigging in the streets and is "busted down" to serving girl instead of student."

Doctor Who - The Smugglers audiobook

2008-05-30T02:55:00.000-07:00

'Nobody who crosses Pike lives to tell the tale!'

When the TARDIS lands on a remote and wild stretch of the Cornish coast, its occupants little realise that they have arrived in the 17th century. The Doctor, Ben and Polly soon discover to their cost, however, that these are far from hospitable times. The local Squire is at the head of a plot to offload contraband, whilst a long-rumoured hoard of stolen treasure has drawn attention to the village church. Inadvertently stumbling upon this web of deception and double-crossing, the time travellers are rapidly propelled into danger.

The Doctor's encounter with the ill-fated Joseph Longfoot leaves him with a cryptic clue to the location of Avery's Treasure. But a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, as the fearsome pirate Samuel Pike (he has a metal hook in place of a hand) is only too willing to prove. To his dismay, the Doctor realises that Pike and his bloodthirsty henchmen will stop at nothing - not even the threat of Avery's Curse - to find and seize the ill-gotten hoard.

Ben and Polly, meanwhile, must choose their allies with care. In these duplicitous days no-one is ever sure who to trust, and the stakes are suddenly raised as smugglers and pirates go head to head with the local militia. Can the time travellers help to save an entire village from burning - and still escape to the TARDIS with their lives?

Doctor Who - The Savages audiobook

2008-05-30T02:49:00.000-07:00

'We have reached the distant horizon of an age of peace and prosperity!'

When the TARDIS materialises on an alien planet, the Doctor insists that he and his companions have arrived in the far future. Steven and Dodo think otherwise, however, after they encounter a band of cave-dwelling primitives who are terrified of strangers. The travellers soon discover that the planet's population is divided into two castes, and that the professed idyll of the Elders - who inhabit a technologically advanced city -seems oddly dependent upon the unsophisticated Savages.

Whilst the Elders' leader, Jano, welcomes the Doctor into their society, Dodo stumbles upon a dark secret at the heart of the community. The truth behind the Elders' great knowledge is eventually revealed, and the Doctor sees it as his duty to end a terrible case of exploitation. Yet Jano has plans of his own for the Doctor..

With the Doctor's faithful companion Steven discovering that events on this planet will irrevocably shape his destiny, The Savages marks the final appearance in the programme of Peter Purves, who also provides the linking narration for this release.

Meanwhile the Doctor is on dry land confusing all and sundry in a variety of disguises. However, his bumbling manner hides a sharp brain and eventually he, Polly and Ben are reunited in the TARDIS together with young piper Jamie McCrimmon who went on to become one of the most popular companions of the series.

2008-05-22T04:18:00.000-07:00

'They hate the person that they think you are - passionately and completely.'

No sooner have the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria landed on a sun-kissed Australian beach than they are being shot at by murderous fanatics! A dramatic helicopter rescue places them in the hands of Astrid Ferher and Giles Kent, two people intent on bringing about the downfall of the world's most dangerous man - who happens to look exactly like the Doctor.

This is Earth in the near future, and Salamander's Sun-Catcher technology has been hailed as the answer to all the world's food problems. Yet is there more to his prediction of natural disasters than meets the eye? Could it be that the death and destruction which he appears to foretell is in fact of his own creation? Jamie and Victoria infiltrate Salamander's Hungarian palace to gain proof of his misdeeds, whilst the Doctor must impersonate the dictator in order to stay alive. In doing so he witnesses the might of his brutish regime, and discovers the terrible secret which lurks beneath the Kanowa research centre.

One of the time travellers' most dangerous adventures ever takes place against a backdrop of volcanos and earthquakes, deadly high-speed chases, assassination attempts and spectacular explosions. Ultimately it will lead them to a climactic confrontation between the Doctor and his murderous double...

'We at this table pledge our allegiance to the Dalek cause. Our armies will reduce the galaxies to ashes, their people to dust. And Earth we will conquer first!'

In their quest to gain control of the Solar System, the Daleks have taken possession of the Time Destructor, a weapon which threatens the safety of all who stand in their way. They have formed an alliance with the Outer Galaxies, all of them bent on destroying the human race, and called a council of delegates to their base on the planet Kembel. In their midst is none other than Mavic Chen, treacherous Guardian of the Solar System.

When the Doctor learns the extent of the Daleks' plan, he steals the taranium core which powers the weapon - without it their conquest cannot begin. Together with two agents of the 41st Century's Space Security Service, the TARDIS crew is pursued across volcanos and deserts, through jungles and futuristic cities, and to London, Egypt and even Hollywood. As the Daleks close in and the stakes become progressively higher, allies and enemies are won and lost. Shockingly, not all of the Doctor's companions will escape with their lives...

Also included in this release is Mission to the Unknown, a single episode 'teaser' which sets the scene for the incredible twelve-part adventure.

Doctor Who - The Celestial Toymaker audiobook

2008-05-22T02:52:00.000-07:00

'You will become my perpetual opponent. We shall play endless games together - your brain against mine.' --- The Toymaker

In the domain of the Toymaker nothing is quite as it seems - as becomes apparent when the TARDIS materialises inside. The Doctor seems well-acquainted with the mysterious mandarin's penchant for deadly distractions, but now with companions Steven and Dodo in tow the stakes are even higher. Failure to triumph in a series of games will result in them being trapped for eternity in a strange realm where innocuous-seeming nursery characters reveal lethal intent.

Steven and Dodo's desperation to regain the TARDIS increases with every round of blind man's buff and musical chairs they play. In each game they are faced by dangerous opponents and deadly allies - the clowns Joey and Clara, the King and Queen of Hearts, a mischievous schoolboy and a legion of silent, walking dolls...

The Doctor, rendered invisible and challenged to complete the fiendishly difficult Trilogic Game, can only watch his friends' plight from afar. Who will be the first to make a false move in this battle of wits, and will the TARDIS ever escape the Toymaker's snare?

star in this BBC radio 4 adventure, digitally remastered for the first time.

Following a spot of uncharacteristic intoxication, the Doctor wakes to discover that the TARDIS has materialised in the service ducting of the Vipod Mor, a huge craft which is itself floating in deep space. Furthermore, the console has detected Time spillage: someone or something is tampering with Time! Such experimentation could not only damage the Space/Time continuum but destroy the past and future history of the Universe. The Doctor and Peri board the craft to investigate.

Time experimentation isn't the only illegal operation being conducted on board. A number of valuable works of art have been stolen from those planets which the craft has visited, and two rather suspect policemen are patrolling the ducting in search of the intergalactic art thief.

Soon Peri has been detained by the police, the Doctor is interrogated about the secrets of Time travel and everyone has to suffer the on-board computer's split personality.

So is there anyone left to stop the spiteful captain cultivating and unleashing a killer disease?

Doctor Who - Marco Polo audiobook

2008-05-16T04:56:00.000-07:00

'A caravan that flies! Do you realise what that will mean to Khan?'

When the TARDIS breaks down on the Roof of the World, Central Asia in 1289, its occupants are met by the explorer Marco Polo. His mammoth undertaking is to cross the desert to Peking, and before long he has set his mind on presenting the TARDIS to the emperor Kublai Khan as a gift on his arrival. Unless they can persuade Polo otherwise, the Doctor and his companions will lose their only means to escape this moment in history. However, Polo isn't the only one with designs on the TARDIS. The warlord Tegana will go to any lengths to steal the magical blue box - lengths which endanger the lives of the whole travelling party as they are beset by drought, bandits, and the merciless desert. And when the Doctor finally meets Kublai Khan himself, the precious Ship is his only collateral in a high-stakes round of backgammon - and the Khan is a master of the game...

William Russell, who plays Ian in the story narrates the soundtrack to this classic adventure which, long missing from the television archives, has itself gained legendary status as an example of Doctor Who at its finest. Hailing from the programme's first season (1963-4), it also stars Jacqueline Hill, Carole Ann Ford, and Mark Eden as Marco Polo. An exclusive full-colour map, showing the route taken by Polo and company, is also included.

"We're talking about the Daleks, the most evil creatures ever invented. You must destroy them — you must complete your mission for the Time Lords!'

Genesis of the Daleks
Tom Baker narrates an abridged version of this 1975 television adventure in which the Doctor. Sarah and Harry are sent to Skaro, home world of the Thais and the Kaleds. As a thousand year war of attrition reaches its climax, the crippled scientist Davros has created protective casings for the genetic mutations which his race will become. Only the Doctor knows what fear and misery these 'Daleks' will inflict upon the Universe - but with time running out, can even he prevent the birth of such evil?

Exploration Earth
In this special BBC schools radio episode, not heard since its original 1976 broadcast, the TARDIS takes the Doctor and Sarah back in Time to witness stages of the Earth's development. However, as the planet evolves from a mass of heat and gas, Megron the High Lord of Chaos has his own designs on our homeworld. If his threats to endanger the stability of Earth have any substance, the existence of Mankind itself is in question!

Doctor Who - Space Pirates audiobook

2008-05-16T04:30:00.000-07:00

"We've landed ourselves in the middle of some sort of war in Space!"

The Doctor, Jamie and Zoe become victims of piracy when they materialise on a space beacon, minutes before it is literally blown to pieces. So begins their quest to be reunited with the TARDIS, whilst treading perilously across the paths of the Interstella Space Corps and a gang of murderous bandits.

The eccentric prospector Milo Clancey gives the travellers passage in his ageing spaceship but the old man is himself the focus of Space Corps investigations. Could he possibly be behind the destruction and salvage of so many beacons in the sector? What is the position of Madeleine Issigri, who runs her father's mining corporation or the planet Ta - and how might a locked room provide the answer to this mystery?

Half the galaxy is spanned in a game of cat and mouse between the law enforcers - led by no-nonsense General Hermack and his V-Ship crew - and the pirates Caven and Dervish, who will apparently stop at nothing to continue their lucrative racket.

This six-part adventure, brimming with visions of space travel in the 21st century, offers excitement on a grand scale and was the penultimate story of the second Doctor's TV era.

"Book one of the Deptford Mice Trilogy is a spooky and enthralling animal fantasy. Jarvis

provides counterpoint to the heart-racing adventure with scenes of haunting beauty.The author conveys

a sense of place powerful enough to elevate the South London boroughs of Greenwich and Blackheath to

requisite stops on any bookish child's literary tour of the British capital."Publishers Weekly

"Full of adventure, this shadowy tale will both intrigue and surprise anyone bold enough to enter the Dark Portal."

T. A. Baron, author of The Lost Years of Merlin

Every mouse knows: BEWARE THE GRILL.

On the other side of the Grill lie the sewers, where bloodthirsty gangs of rats roam the tunnels.

It is in the depths of this blackness that the mysterious god Jupiter has his lair.

But one curious mouse can't resist the perilous world beyond the Grill, and soon no mouse can

ignore its dangers any longer. Before the altar of Jupiter himself, a small band of mice must face

evil at its strongest or the entire city of London could be destroyed.

ROBIN JARVIS's first book, The Dark Portal, was short-listed for the 1989 Smarties Book Prize in England, followed by two more titles in the series: The Crystal Prison and The Final Reckoning. Mr. Jarvis lives in London.

Roe Kendall, a native of the British Isles, graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, London. She has performed on stage, as a voice-over artist, and as an audiobook narrator.

But Jimmy's life of turning on water and fixing dripping faucets is disrupted when he rescues Amy's doll Little Lydia from a monstrous wave that sweeps her off the beach.

Jimmy keeps Little Lydia safe right on top of his magic box, where he stores bolts of thunder and lightning. But this turns Little Lydia into an electrified, out of control, bebop doll with the zoomie-zoomies! Can Jimmy find a way to restore Little Lydia to her original state as a "do-nothing doll" before he returns her to her rightful owner?

mice emerge from the sewers to start a new life in the country. But the albino mouse Oswald is seized

by an illness and lies near death. His friend Audrey enlists the help of the ancient squirrel mystic Starwife,

who agrees to heal him on one condition. She reintroduces Audrey to the once villainous rat Madam

Akkikuyu, whose mind is now broken, and decrees that Madam Akkikuyu must stay with Audrey until

she dies.

In the country, the mice find a bucolic existence, until they find themselves embroiled in a series of murders.

Dead Man's Chest audiobook

2008-05-12T02:56:00.000-07:00

Fans of naval stories should love Johnson's book, which honors Stevenson's classic AudioFile

Dead Mans Chest, written as a sequel to Treasure Island, begins with Long John Silvers escape from the merchantman Hispaniola at Puerta Plata and culminates with the American Revolution more than a decade later. It describes in rich detail the unholy alliance between this softhearted cutthroat, his teenage nephew, David Noble, and Captain John Paul Jones. Together they work to retrieve a kings ransom of Spanish gold and jewels from a dead mans chest.

Commander Johnson retired from the United States Navy in 1985 after a twenty-one-year career as a naval aviator, which took him to Vietnam on three separate aircraft carriers. He has recently completed a second career as a fire captain with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection in Northern California. Along with his writing endeavors, Roger has been a published cartoonist and illustrator for twelve years, working for three publishing companies and drawing gag cartoons for two magazines. He and his wife, Elizabeth, live in Hiouchi, a small hamlet on the outskirts of Crescent City, California where he continues to write and paint.

Ralph Cosham has acted in numerous roles for film and TV and in more than one hundred professional theater roles in addition to narrating books for Blackstone Audiobooks. He lives in Reston, Virginia.

I am Coriander Hobie.

I was born in the year of Our Lord 1643, the only child of Thomas and Eleanor Hobie, in our great house on the River Thames in London. Of my early years I remember only happiness. That was before I knew this world had such evil in it, and that my fate was to be locked up in a chest and left to die.

This is my story. This is my life. I looked back into the bedchamber. The floor had become a sea and the bed a ship, seen from a great distance. I could hear voices calling me from Jar away. It was an image that came to haunt me, and I have often wondered what would have happened if I had done as I was told and left the silver shoes alone.

Come on Seabiscuit audiobook

2008-05-09T04:41:00.000-07:00

"Moody is no stranger to a well-told horse tale, having penned Stagecoach

West and the beloved Little Britches books. But it's this story of the knobby-kneed
colt called Seabiscuit that has won the most hearts, and is here lovingly retold in audiobook
form. Storyteller Jim Weiss narrates, using his very best talents to capture
the drama and heart of clumsy Seabiscuit himself, the grandson of the legendary Man O'War."
The Midwest Book Review

"Veteran storyteller Jim Weiss makes the listener feel he is sitting in the stands, adding excitement
to an already suspenseful story; you can't help but cheer on this spunky little horse."
Faith and Family Magazine

Who would have believed that a knobby-kneed little colt called Seabiscuit would become one of the
most celebrated racehorses of all time? Although Seabiscuit was the grandson of the legendary
Man O' War, he was neither handsome nor graceful. His head was too big, his legs were too short,
and his gallop was awkward.

During the depths of the Great Depression, Seabiscuit won against incredible odds and uplifted the
hearts of Americans from the streets to the White House. Ralph Moody recounts the thrilling tale of
the plucky horse who refused to quit, the down-on-his-luck jockey who didn't let horrendous accidents
keep him out of the saddle, and the taciturn trainer who brought out the best in both.

Ralph Moody is the author of Stagecoach West and is best known for his eight Little Britches books.

Jim Weiss's storytelling recordings have received the highest awards from the Parents' Choice Foundation, Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, and the American Library Association and have been widely praised in major publications across North America and internationally.

Coraline audiobook

2008-05-09T02:59:00.000-07:00

In Coraline's family's new flat are twenty-one windows and fourteen doors. Thirteen of the doors open and close.

The fourteenth is locked, and on the other side is only a brick wall, until the day Coraline unlocks the door to find a passage to another flat in another house just like her own.

Only it's different.

At first, things seem marvelous in the other flat. The food is better. The toy box is filled with wind-up angels that flutter around the bedroom, books whose pictures writhe and crawl and shimmer, little dinosaur skulls that chatter their teeth. But there's another mother, and another father, and they want Coraline to stay with them and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.

Other children are trapped there as well, lost souls behind the mirrors. Coraline is their only hope of rescue. She will have to fight with all her wits and all the tools she can find if she is to save the lost children, her ordinary life, and herself.

Critically acclaimed and award-winning author Neil Gaiman will delight listeners with his first novel for all ages.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court audiobook

2008-05-09T02:52:00.000-07:00

The magical and romantic legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table Is one of the great stories of the world. The most famous version - Le Morte d'Arthur by the 15th century writer Sir Thomas Malory, which told of Arthur, Excalibur, Merlin, Sir Launcelot, Guinevere, Sir Gawain, the search for the Holy Grail and the final battle between the King and Mordred - is full of excitement, heroism and mystery.

Like most of his generation, Mark Twain, the great 19th century comic American writer, knew and loved the book. He wrote mainly about his own time - and his greatest successes such as Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer drew on the Mississippi countryside where he grew up. But he also had a wicked sense of humour, and he wanted to show that Malory's picture of brave knights and rescued damsels was not as shiny or honourable we may like to think.

From the moment the idea came to him, to whisk a modern man (modern=1880s for Twain) back in time to the heyday of Camelot, he couldn't resist elaborating on the realities of life In Arthurian times. His Connecticut hero. Hank Morgan, found not a land of grace and ideals but one which was smelly, dangerous, uncomfortable and backward.

Hank finds that life is regarded as cheap, that torture and execution are commonplace, that superstition is everywhere and even Merlin is a con-man. Few wash, the music is terrible, living in armour is horrendous and deception is everywhere.

So Hank decides that he will make the best of his situation and introduce 6th century England to some of the improvements of his contemporary (19th century) existence - advertising, soap, newspapers, stocks and shares, and the railroad. And, with his superior knowledge, he will become The Boss.

How do the people of an older time take to it? In much the same way Twain suggests, as we would if someone from the distant future came down and tried to make us live their way: The older people generally do not like giving up their traditional ways, even though there were very clear advantages and only the youth can adapt.

Yet despite this, Hank cannot but admire some qualities of those knights and their damsels - not least the ability to stand up and fight in steel armour that would crush the contemporary man.

The novel began mainly as a delightful fantasy, but as Twain wrote, the darker side of his own character and view of the human race emerged. He believed in science, economics and practicalities; and government based on the equalities of opportunity that characterised America of Twain's day He couldn't accept a people who would choose monarchy. A Connecticut Yankee shows what can happen when these two very different societies come together.
