"fun and educational!"

"The app is very simple to use: when your child taps on a colour, it jumps up and sounds a note – and you can ‘play’ more than one colour at a time so it’s great fun for little fingers."

---------------------------------
Red In Bed is an original story about the colors of the rainbow who on this particular day cover for Red who stays in bed, sick. It is written, illustrated and developed by Josh On, an interaction designer who wanted to keep the simplicity of a classic children’s book while adding a layer of gentle interactivity to help involve the child in the narrative directly.
Each color has a note which sounds on a tap, together they can be played like a musical instrument. This interactivity is aimed at pulling the child into the story. As each color goes to saturate objects of the world in their hue, the child reader can touch each object and it will fill with that color and play the color’s note.

Red in Bed
Exploring with color and sound
My 20 month old daughter could not get enough of this book. After reading the book together, she went to her reading chair and continued her exploration of the book for over and hour. It is not very often you find a book or activity for an older infant or toddler that is educational, fun, and allows for personal creativity. Five stars all the way!
Great story, beautifully illustrated

Even with a LOT of apps on the family iPad, our youngest keeps returning to Red!
An adorable interactive app for kids

This is a wonderful app that kids will love, especially at bedtime as they help Red's friends fill in for their buddy when Red is feeling under the weather. A lovely lesson about colors and friendship.
Red in bed is precious!

This app is absolutely adorable - beautiful art style. Love the deeply satisfying sound effects. Super cute story and concept for teaching colors et même en français! Great app all around.
What fun!

My two-year-old loves making up songs on the title page and interacting throughout the book. We are looking forward to a sequel. Perhaps the colors can go to the zoo?
