Boynton Moo Media teams up with award-winning Loud Crow Interactive, to bring to life her beloved, funny, wildly best-selling bedtime board book, The Going to Bed Book.

“I absolutely adore working with the ridiculously creative and innovative team at Loud Crow, and I am so proud of what we’ve done together with The Going to Bed Book. Our interactive book app version of my book manages to both retain the original board book experience, and add subtle and captivating dimension to it. It’s such wonderful fun. And oh! I am so smitten by Billy J. Kramer’s infinitely reassuring narration for this, and Michael Ford’s understated and lovely piano composition.” - Sandra Boynton

Far beyond any e-book experience, The Going to Bed Book app has all the magic and appeal of a traditional pop-up book, offering lively interactivity and thoroughly mesmerizing and delightful discovery.

Features:

* Imagine! An ark that rocks.

* Touch, pull, and turn animals and objects to make them move, or tilt your device to watch things slide and cascade

* Tap water that turns on and off, and steam that fogs the screen. Can you write your name in the steam? Of course!

* There are teeth to brush, and a group exercise session with ten pajama-clad animals (big and small) each with its own unique exercise.

* Help the little piggy turn off the lights, then rock yourself to sleep to the music box sound of beautiful twinkling stars.

* There's something wonderful to discover on every page.

* "The Big Guy Reads It" narration mode with word highlighting to help improve reading skills

* Or “I want to read it myself” and hear individual words pronounced with the tap of a finger

* Wonderful resonant and gentle narration by British Invasion legend, Billy J. Kramer

* Boynton’s original text and illustrations for her popular The Going to Bed Book (over 5 million in print!)

Boynton adds, “Of course The Going to Bed Book app is first and foremost for children, and I know they will be captivated and delighted. But it’s also perfect for agitated high-level executives. What a great evening-time alternative to reviewing the minutes of last week’s Near-Term Strategic Wombat Acquisitions meeting.”

Disappointed!

Where is the fun? It's Sandra Boynton... where is the silliness? The music should be in a changing room and the narrator could not be more dull if he tried. My one year old loves this book and I don't even want to show her this app. The book should take up the whole screen. It's amazing someone made Sandra Boynton boring. Boo Boo Boo!

Wonderful for all ages

After seeing some of the bad reviews that have been left here, I just thought I would share my experience. Some have complained that the application is not formatted for the iPad, they might have been confused by the two different versions in the app store, one is just for the iPhone and the other is iPad only, if figuring out the difference between the two is too tricky for some users, then that is more their problem then the developer’s. But getting on to my review, after reading many Sandy Boynton “Boynton on Board” books as a young child, I was glad to finally see that they now had a book for the iPad , with the large screen and rich color that the iPad offers its ideal for kids (and even adults) plus the amazing amount of interactivity in each page, that never ceases to amaze children, who seem to discover something new every time they read the book. In fact I have even gifted this app to one of my friends with children, and both the parent and the child seemed to love the book. While some may not like the voiceovers for the book, my suggestion is to simply turn it off and read it by yourself, in my opinion though I think the voiceover work was perfect for the story, however, everyone is entitled to their own point of view. My overall opinion is that it is a wonderful improvement on the already popular Boynton series of children’s books, and a perfect gift for children of all ages.

App with potential

Very good App but the interactivity is not very functional and weak.

So fun!

My 2 year old loves this new version of one of his first favorite books. You won't be disappointed.

Beautiful

If I could give this 6 stars I would! Gorgeous music and narration. Perfect blend of interactiveness without taking over the readability as a primary story. Well done!

Phoned this one in...

My biggest complaint is that the book is WAY too short for $3. This has only a minute portion of the production value as the Pop Out books which I also own. Tis was a big disappointment.

Fabulous!!!

My 3 year old and I simply adore this interactive book! She never tires of all the fun, as we must read it every night before bedtime. This is a fabulous app...you won't be disappointed"

After 10-15 attempts, I literally have not been able to read this book yet. It crashes every single time I open it. I give it five stars because I know it's going to be awesome as soon as it gets some stability. So how bout it?

Even Better Than the Real Book

This is an excellent re-imagining of the actual book. So interactive and full of fun surprises for kids and adults alike. Now whenever we read the actual book my 18-month-old keeps tapping the pages waiting for something cool to happen.
