Just in time for the holidays, from the makers of the Hippo Hooray series of educational games for toddlers comes: The 12 Days of Christmas – Picture Story Book with Sing-Along Music. Your favorite characters from Hippo Hooray – Honey the Hippo and Raphael the Robin find themselves wandering through the twelve days of Christmas and all the traditional gifts and events that ensue. There are maids a-milking, French hens, a partridge, a pear tree, and everything else you’d expect.

The illustrations are vibrant and lovely, and the music is a modern instrumental version of this classic Christmas carol so you can sing along. The lyrics show up on the screen just in time to guide you through the song. This app is engaging and beautiful for everyone from toddlers to adults. Everyone can enjoy this colorful bit of Christmas cheer.

Also, if you like this version, you can go to A Story Before Bed (www.astorybeforebed.com) and record a video of yourself reading (or even singing) the book so your children or grandchildren can watch it on the web as often as they like. For the first time, a book is available both as an iPhone app and as a recordable video book on the web. Get both and bring Christmas cheer to every corner of your life.
