We all love picture books for children but there is now one with a new twist, and a shake and a wiggle. Alice for the iPad is an amazing app which contains a slightly interactive version of this well loved story. It seems full of clever little touches like mushrooms that you can toss around a room with a twist of your iPad or an Alice who grows and shrinks as you move your gadget around.

The app is available for £5.49 or as a free “lite” version. Is this the real future of how we can get kids reading more?

I know my kids will love it!
