Being the father of two elementary school children, and yes an iPad family, I can appreciate this announcement.

Scholastic Media, a division of Scholastic Inc., the global children's publishing, education and media company, recently announced the introduction of its “Touch & Tilt” line of iPad book applications on the iTunes App Store.

The three apps, I Love You Through and Through, The Magic School Bus: Oceans and Go, Clifford, Go!, introduce age appropriate, re-playable reading experiences and leverage the unique technology of the iPad to bring the books to life. These interactive storybooks allow the youngest of children to read and play independently on the iPad.

“Interactive media is all about kids owning the experience, and Scholastic is delighted to introduce interactive reading experiences that truly put children in the driver's seat,” said Deborah Forte, President of Scholastic Media and Executive Vice President of Scholastic Inc. “With the design of engaging, humorous enhanced interactions that kids will want to do over and over again, Scholastic is confident these apps will foster a love of reading for generations to come.”

The new Scholastic “Touch & Tilt” Apps for iPad include:
