A modest assortment of reviews and comments, usually about Children's Books
1. Why a "plain-old" picture book can be superior to an app

This is an article by Marla Frazee from the May 2011 Horn Book.  What stands out to me today is the part about how when the pictures in a book don't move, it actually encourages more active participation from the child.  The child would be interested either way, but with the app moving for them, they would merely watch.

That reminds me of the differences between watching a TV show and listening to a radio show.
