According to the Telegraph this is the first children’s picture book to be published on the iPhone. I found it on the Apps Store and it is available for $.99. The illustrations are really cute! You can find the publisher’s website here. According to the site the book has touch sensitive sliding screens, animated sequences with sound and free illustrations to save as wallpaper on your iPhone.

Parents can download The Surprise for 59p direct to their iPhones, and children can follow the illustrations on the touch-sensitive screens.

Neal Hoskins, of Winged Chariot Press, said: “At home many parents already share their laptops and phones as digital entertainment devices with their children. Now, they can use and enjoy them together. “The Surprise is the first of many creations on this platform, giving you fantastic and wonderfully drawn images, as well as fun animation and storytelling.”
