PopOut! The Night Before Christmas

Classic Christmas Tale Gets Digital Makeover

This is a magical interactive version of the 1902 classic by William Denslow, the original illustrator of the "Wizard of Oz."

What Makes This App So Good?

Throughout the 50 pages, kids will delight in touching the illustrations which respond in different ways including moving, popping out of position, and swaying when the iPad is tilted. There are also pull-tabs and wheels to spin that make new illustrations appear. Don't miss the one where kids get to make Santa slide down the chimney!

The words in the book highlight as they are read aloud to help beginning readers follow along. The story is accompanied by a piano version of "O Christmas Tree."
