Bed Time Bunny Tales Released!

An interactive storybook that I scored has been released! It is super cute, and beautifully illustrated, so I encourage you to check it out and buy it! You  can check it out here! Here is some more information about it.

Bedtime Bunny Tales is an interactive storybook that is perfect for bedtime. This twist on the tortoise and the hare is not only an adventure but teaches a timely truth- that greed can be a dangerous trap.

Highlights:
•Unique interactivity with original voices
•Animations that bring pages to life
•Film score quality-music composed specifically for the app by Sean Beeson
•Captivating narration by Hollywood Actor Oliver Muirhead
•3D tilting interactivity on some pages
•Read along with or without narration

The artist behind BTBT’s, Sam Gebhardt, has worked on some of Hollywood’s biggest films to include Shrek 2 and Open Season. He brings that same kind of amazing imagery, professional standard and magical appeal to Bedtime Bunny Tales.
From the very start you’ll feel at home when you visit the far off world of Lanyond and stop in at Grandpa’s cozy nook. it’s a warm little house, tucked inside a tree and it’s so inviting you’ll want to pull up a chair and stay awhile but the adventure is just beginning. You’ll meander through the forest, stumble upon great riches and even meet a scary vulture.
When you tap a character you’ll hear the sweet little voice of Banjo, Boomer or Twinkles, authentic sounds from some really cute kids…voices we’re sure your child will relate to as well as want to emulate.
Welcome to the world of Bedtime Bunny Tales!
