Arthur Turns Green by Marc Brown
Is It Any Good?
ARTHUR TURNS GREEN BY MARC BROWN doesn't do much beyond putting the printed page onto the iPad screen. Swiping to flip pages is as interactive as it gets. However, kids (or parents) can record their own readings of the book, which is nice. And there are a bunch of coloring pages and jigsaw puzzles added as bonus material. But if you buy this app, it should really be about wanting to read the story. For kids just learning about the concept of eco-friendly living, the story can be very informative in a cute, fun way.
