Children’s Laureate Praises eBooks
October 30, 2009
Sleepydog’s range of eBooks for the iPhone and iPod touch has been given the thumbs up by Children’s Laureate, Anthony Browne.
Our approach to eBooks has been developed in partnership with award-winning children’s author, Steve Skidmore, and is based around the core aim of encouraging kids to read.
Speaking to Skidmore, Browne said: ”This is a great idea! Anything that makes reading cool and gets kids reading for pleasure must be a good thing.”
With a total of 12 eBooks for children now published on iTunes, we’re looking forward to releasing many more titles in the coming months.
