Dr. Seuss Becomes Tech Savvy


As a young child, Dr. Seuss' books were on the top of my list of favorites. Today, Dr. Seuss' books continue to be a favorite for young children, but now children can experience Dr. Seuss in a new way. There is now a Dr. Seuss app for Apple's iPod and iPads. The article
"Celebrate Earth Day, Dr. Seuss Style" shows us how with the use of an iPod or iPad children can have a fun learning experience. Just in time for Earth Day, The Lorax by Dr. Seuss was released for the iPod and iPad. The Lorax teaches children the value of caring about the earth. This interactive application reads the story to the children and also asks them to help replant the Truffula Forest with seeds. The children are asked to plant seeds, water the plants, and grow flowers. This is a great way to keep children entertained while teaching them an important message about caring for the earth.
