"A Charlie Brown Christmas" Comes to the iPad (Macrumors)
Childhood classic _A Charlie Brown Christmas_ has made its way to the iPad as
an interactive book that Mashable describes as "spectacular" and "like magic".
The app turns the 1965 television special into an interactive children's book,
giving kids (and nostalgic adults) the chance to "play Schroeder's piano,
finger paint with the gang, go carolling with the Peanuts choir, and
participate in the Spectacular Super-Colossal Neighborhood Christmas Lights
and Display Contest".
_A Charlie Brown Christmas_ was built by Loud Crow Interactive, an app
development firm in Vancouver that specializes in turning book content into
interactive digital apps.
This isn't Loud Crow's first experience turning a classic children's tale into
an iPad app. Last year, the company created interactive interpretations of
Beatrix Potter's _The Tale of Peter Rabbit_ and _The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin_,
and William Wallace Denslow's _The Night Before Christmas_.
_A Charlie Brown Christmas_ is a universal app, designed for both iPhone and
iPad, and is $6.99 on the App Store. [Direct Link]
