Review & Giveaway: IBW Interactive Books for Children

I have a preschooler, that loves books. As he is getting older, the idea of him recognizing site words, letters and more is becoming more important in his development, and he needs a fun developmentally appropriate way to do so.

I was contacted by IBW Interactive books to do a review and giveaway, and here are my thoughts on this product. The activities on the web scenes were simple and fun, my son enjoyed these very much. As for the Tracing of the letters, this was difficult as he can not maneuver the mouse very well. Here is a brief video of me and my son, he was 3 in May. From the Website:

“The Interactive Book-Webscene proprietary process combines the reading of a print book with the interactivity of online animations. Here’s how it works: At the end of each chapter, the reader is directed to a specific link on a website associated with the book. Here, the reader views a webscene. Webscenes contain 2D and 3D animations. Each webscene is essential to the storytelling. After viewing the webscene, the reader returns to the book to read another chapter, after which are instructions to view another webscene, and so on. Each book contains 6-10 webscenes.”

You do need to have a computer near by, to type in the web address for the pictures sequence. These are not downloads, they automatically pop up on your computer when the address is typed. The book guides you with the web address, and other ideas on play and activity for you and your child.
