CNET Editors' review
Editors' take: With The Wrong Side of the Bed in 3D, children's book author-illustrator Wallace E. Keller founded See Here Studios, turned his own out-of-print title into an e-book, and gave it a 3D makeover. (Narration and musical accompaniment, too.) Any traditional red/cyan 3D glasses will do (you can order a pair from the publisher for $1), though don't expect "Avatar"-level imagery: the effect is fairly minimal. Do expect a cute little story (which can also be viewed in 2D) accompanied by lovely illustrations. The HD version of the app costs $2.99; iPhone and iPod owners can snag it for 99 cents.
Publisher's Description
From See Here Studios:
Selected as one of the 10 Best Children's Book Apps by Kirkus Reviews, iPhoneLife & Babble.com *** Featured in CNET, The New York Times & Huffington Post *** Written for ages 4 and up! For readers still unconvinced that the features of the iPad can translate printed children's books into full-blown multimedia experiences, this one will change your point of view. - Kirkus Reviews, recipient of a starred review for books of remarkable merit The illustrations in the book are a ton of fun and you can see them in either 2D or 3D. When you read the story in 3D the illustrations really come to life and pop right out at you. - The iPhone Mom There are several qualities that make this book remarkably special. To start, the illustrations, narration, and soundtrack are masterfully created for the iPad platform. - GiggleApps What happens when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? You see the world in a different light or, in little Mott Turner's case, from the ceiling! Imagine how kids can identify with little Mott, who wakes confused and irritable one morning, only to find himself in one upside-down misadventure after another, until finally he is right side up and once again, level-headed. The moral of the story: It helps to be in the right frame of mind before you get out of bed! Features:- Viewable in both 2D and 3D. The 2D book can be turned "upside down" for a funny new perspective. Kids love seeing little Mott on the ceiling! - Interactive touch spots! Tickle Mott on each page to bring him to life.- Includes audio options for "read to me" (read by the author) or "read myself" when parents and children would like to read at their own pace. - Animated mini-movies, music and sound effects provide a rich multimedia reading experience.- Includes Auto-play feature for automatic page turning.- Easily order inexpensive 3D glasses from within the app.Please note that red/cyan 3D glasses are needed for viewing the stereoscopic 3D version. 3D glasses from the movie theater will not work, since they use a different technology incompatible with the iPad's screen. Red/cyan 3D glasses can be easily purchased via a link in the app or at most comic book stores. Author/illustrator Wallace E. Keller has illustrated children's books for Scholastic, Harcourt, Rizzoli International, McGraw-Hill and Houghton Mifflin. A graduate of Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, his illustrations have appeared in The New York Times Book Review, Business Week, Ms. and Psychology Today.
