Produced By: Sideways

Description/Features: Available for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, "Peter Rabbit: Buddy Edition" is a version of the Beatrix Potter classic that incorporates Sideways' patent-pending Buddy Reading technology, which allows two people to remotely read aloud together. For example, a parent who is traveling on business can read a bedtime story in real-time to a child at home, with both able to interact with the digital book and each other across different devices. Other features include a coloring book feature, which enables children to color a drawing in the book and share it electronically; and a learn-to-read function, which allows children to touch objects and see and hear the words.
