Digital, interactive book apps are booming, especially in the children's space, making this an exciting time to be an app publisher.

(Press Rlease) Encinitas, Calif., January 24, 2011—Michel Kripalani, founder and president of Oceanhouse Media, Inc., today announced the company has crossed the one million mark in paid app downloads on Apple's App Store.

Oceanhouse Media Inc. has released three new "The Berenstain Bears" e-books for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch—the first three titles released as a result of a new e-book licensing relationship with Zondervan.

For Oceanhouse Media (OM), a publisher of apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, licensing relationships with Dr. Seuss Enterprises, Hay House Publishers and Chronicle Books have helped it to become a player in the children's book space. With the company's recent announcement that the children's classic “ Green Eggs and Ham” was now available for purchase at the App Store, Oceanhouse Media reached a milestone: 100 apps published. After just one week of release, the “Green Eggs and Ham” e-book app achieved its own milestone—it reached the No. 1 position on the App Store book charts for both the iPad and the iPhone. Not bad for a company that's only been around for a little over a year-and-a-half.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary and World Oceans Day on June 8, 2010, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish eBook is now available for $3.99. Dr. Seuss’s Oh, the Places You’ll Go! eBook is also available for $3.99. Up With A Fish!, a fun, addictive stacking game also is available for $0.99.
