"I want to highlight the 31 books to receive a perfect 5-Star review on our site. With over 400 reviews, that means these apps are the cream of the crop, representing fewer than 10% of all the titles we've seen. We have awarded all of these developers our "Digital Storytime Star" for overall merit."

"The whole 'kids coloring' books has changed now that Crayola has come to the iPad. They released a fun stylus last year, which several of us have, just for fun. Now, they have rolled out a literally endless number of pages coloring book. The basic Crayola Lights, Camera, Color! HD app converts any image you have on your iPad (or take with the iPad2 camera) to a line art, ready for coloring. Included 64 crayon colors, 24 colored pencils, 10 Crayola markers and even an eraser."

"It might be true that some parents prefer to give their kids print books - even if they choose e-books for themselves - but when it's holiday travel time, it might be nice to keep stories on a single device. Apart from traveling lighter, these apps and games can keep kids engaged by allowing them to create stories, too."

"We all remember being tucked into bed, listening to someone read "Goodnight Moon." Now there's a twist, for a new generation, on Margaret Wise Brown's 1947 classic book.
