There’s a Wocket in my Pocket (universal) by Oceanhouse Media is the latest Dr Seuss book to come to life on iDevices at OMBooks expert hands. Enjoy the childhood classic in a fun, new interactive way. This book showcases the height of Dr Seuss’s word crafting genius.
As with all Oceanhouse digibooks, this interactive version of the beloved classic maintains all the illustration genius of the master.
All those zellars and wosets and yurtles look just as bright and intriguing as they did the day Dr Seuss first drew them to life.
There’s nothing added, nothing taken away from the magical drawings. The beauty of this version is that your little one won’t be able to affectionately tear the pages or hug the cover off.
There are three modes of play: Read to Me, Read to Myself and Autoplay. During each of the three story options, children can at any time touch on individual words or photos to hear the word spoken aloud. This helps increase word-object association.
Thankfully the interface is designed with little fingers in mind. The controls are simple and intuitive for children. In a matter of seconds they’ll know how to turn pages and discover the name of objects and how to prompt a word when they get stumped during their read.
Perhaps I was conditioned by the audio copy of this book my parents bought for me as a child, but the narrator’s voice used here somehow doesn’t seem to fit the mysterious tone of the book.
Her voice has a positive, motherly quality – which is by no means a bad thing. However, the entire way through the book, I felt a Seussishly unfathomable quality was a bit lacking.
Thankfully, Oceanhouse is always good at keeping the distractions to a minimum. As with all their titles they’ve just enough to tap on to enhance reading skills as the Doctor himself always meant to do. And, they keep the integrity of classic that had no problem winning over children back in the day when illustrations and words were a book’s only assets. If parents want to bring Seuss to life for a digital generation There’s a Wocket in my Pocket is the way to go.
