Loud Crow Interactive just released its fourth installment of the PopOut! series, The Tale of Benjamin Bunny. Just in time for Easter, this story follows Peter Rabbit and his cousin, Benjamin Bunny, as they get into all kinds of trouble. For this story, they take off on a quest through Mr. McGregor’s dangerous garden to get back Peter’s lost clothes. Peter and his cousin, Benjamin, need to constantly look out for the dangerous pet cat that Mr. McGregor roams his garden with.
The PopOut! series is a series of interactive “pop-out” books for iOS. Touching and dragging objects in the storybooks make them come to life and perform various actions. The books are accompanied by music and sound effects, this one with a classical piano soundtrack. The even feature a “Read to Me” function that narrates the book while highlighting the words for children just learning to read.
Other storybooks in the PopOut! series include The Night Before Christmas, The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, and The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
If I could be any woodland creature, I think I’d be a rabbit. Think about it, they’re adorable, they have long ears and twitchy noses, and they get to spend their days chowing down on lettuce and carrots. Of course there are predators to watch out for, but it’s still better than being a dumb old squirrel. Sadly, I can never be a bunny, but I can live the life vicariously through the upcoming Hungry Rabbit iOS game.
