App Description

The Saint Nick and the Space Nicks Storybook app for iPad with Retina Display was created by Emmy and Peabody Award winning ABC-TV artist, Bill Westerfield.

The animated version of Space Nicks has appeared every Christmas eve on ABC-TV's World News Now since 2005.

Space Nicks has improved page flow that utilizes the artwork for a more enjoyable result. It includes stronger audio, more animated interactivity and visual eye candy for the kids! Plus, we have more than doubled the Color Pots and added more brush sizes in the Paint Nicks section giving children greater control over the artwork they create.

Wonderfully narrated by NPR's Robert Krulwich.

Written by Richard Chase Mears.

32 pages of whimsically detailed illustrations by Bill Westerfield with hundreds of interactive buttons, visible and hidden, that trigger animations, draggle objects and silly sound effects that kids will love!.

'Paint Nicks'! 5 coloring pages, now with even more colors to choose from! Children can spend hours coloring their favorite Space Nicks.

'Space Nicks’ tells the story of how St. Nick meets Venick from Venus. Venick is a strange purple creature with long purple hair and is dressed exactly like St. Nick. Venick tells him that while delivering his own toys on Venus he tripped on a star and tumbled from near to afar, ending up lost here on Earth. Fearing he will not be able to complete his task, he asks for help. When St. Nick says yes, a whole new world of Christmas opens up to them.

Follow St. Nick and Venick as they travel through space and meet all the Space Nicks! It’s an adventure you won’t forget and reminds you whenever you’re lost, look to the sky, to the heavens above, there are billions of stars that sparkle with love!

From the original children's book, Saint Nick and the Space Nicks is the hypothetical marriage between Clement Clark Moore's ‘The Night before Christmas’ and Dr. Seuss! With Richard Mear's smart and snappy writing and Bill’s whimsically detailed illustrations, they have created a wonderful new spin to the traditional Christmas story.
