Description
★ Another excellent omBook from Oceanhouse Media! - Smatoos★ 4.5 out of 5 stars! - Digital Storytime
"It's a pretty good zoo," said young Gerald McGrew," and the fellow who runs it seems proud of it, too." But if I ran the zoo, said young Gerald McGrew, "I'd make a few changes. That's just what I'd do . . . "
Young Gerald, not impressed by the animals at the zoo, conjures up plans for "New Zoo, McGrew Zoo." Join him on a globe-trotting safari in search of the world's most unusual creatures (with equally unusual habits). A wonderful tribute to a child's imagination, this parade of creatures begins with a ten-footed lion and escalates to more and more imaginative (and bizarre) creatures, such as the Fizza-ma-Wizza-ma-Dill, "the world's biggest bird from the island of Gwark, who eats only pine trees, and spits out the bark." Come along and discover a zoo like you've never imagined, through the eyes of Gerald McGrew and the great Dr. Seuss!
New features only available in this omBook include professional narration, background audio and enlarged artwork for each scene. To promote reading in young children, individual words are highlighted as the story is read and words zoom up when pictures are touched. By combining the original text and artwork of Dr. Seuss with features that entertain and promote reading, this omBook appeals to readers of all ages.
Three ways to read this omBook (Oceanhouse Media digital book):
★ "Read to Me" — listen to the narrated story with words highlighted as they are read
★ "Read it Myself" — read the book in its traditional form
★ "Auto Play" — plays like a movie, automatically reading and turning pages. Great for younger children!

★ Custom background audio for each scene
★ Pages pan & zoom to accentuate the beautiful, original art of Dr. Seuss

6 year old asks to re-read My son and I read lots of books together both ocenhouse app type books and regular paper books. He seldom asks to re-read any this is one of the few. It's a good one!
