Does anyone else find it hard to keep the kids focused on learning over the summer months? While I do think summer is a time for relaxing and taking a break from school, I want to keep their little minds from turning to mush. It seems like all they want to do is play on any technology that begins with the letter “i” and watch tv. I have actually found that’s it’s easy to sneak in a little learning (even if they don’t know that’s what’s going on) by downloading kids books on the iPad. You already know how much we enjoy reading around here, so for us, books are a great way to keep their minds sharp.
Let me tell you about a little gem of an iBook I found this summer called Alicewinks.
Alicewinks is a multimedia iBook that brings the timeless illustrations of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland to life for digital audiences like this generation of kids, through animated video and narration.

It’s available to download on iTunes for the iPad for only $9.99, you can even try a sample of it before you buy just to be sure you’ll enjoy it.
The classic story is told using animated video and narration by 19 different voices throughout the story. It’s truly a modern multimedia experience with a classic feel. Quite the interesting and creative mix for sure.
I feel like my kids have inherited my passion for art and creativity, so the fact that Alicewinks brings classic Alice illustrations to life, including 193 original illustrations from twelve early 20th century artists, has been wonderful for us to enjoy together.
Growing up, when I read the Alice in Wonderland story, my absolute favorite part was Alice’s meeting with the caterpillar, and I believe it’s also my favorite part of the art in the Alicewinks book.
My kids have said their favorite part is the Queen of Hearts, when she send her decks of cards to chase Alice.
I’ve always been a fan of actual paper books that you can actually hold in your hand and turn pages to (I still am), but I’ve become an enormous fan of the ebook world recently as well. On the trip my family just took to Australia, where we were on airplanes for 22 hours, I realized that it’s much more convenient to carry a tablet for reading than multiple paper books. Plus, the definite bonus for books like Alicewinks that you don’t have with a traditional book are all the interactive features you get with it.
In celebration of the 150th Anniversary of Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland, Alicewinks brings the story’s classic illustrations to life for digital audiences through animated video and rich narration. To download this one of a kind iBook, visit iTunes.com/alicewinks
