We just returned from our family reunion/vacation and had a great time. (Yay to our MB Swift stroller and Kidco GoPod - lifesavers!)

I wanted to share a video that a family member had on his iPad (available on iTunes) that was a HUGE hit with all of the kids... this video would be great for plane rides, long car rides, or in the waiting room at a doc appt.

(You can view a trailer if you go to iTunes.)

Basically it's a videobook where these cute little puppets and animated figure reads aloud - all the words appear on the screen so it's a cool reading tool. There are a few different book titles available (Aladdin, Wizard of Oz, etc).

I think it's mainly geared for kids under 8yo, although I'm also going to get it for our 11mo DC who was also really interested in it. We're getting a Kindle Fire for Xmas, and I think I'm going to load it on there, too.
