Product Description
Read along with the highlighted words
Poor Rudolph! All the other reindeer make fun of his bright red nose and won't let him play in their reindeer games. But when Christmas is almost cancelled because of a huge snowstorm, Rudolph comes to Santa's rescue!
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, the classic Christmas story made famous in a 1964 TV special, is now available as an omBook for your Android device. Like Rudolph himself, this digital book is special. It includes custom music, delightful background audio, enlarged artwork for each scene, and authentic audio clips from the timeless TV special. The app also includes special effects for Rudolph's glowing nose and falling snow.
This deluxe, interactive omBook from Oceanhouse Media is a pleasure for kids and grownups alike. It can also help build your child's reading skills in exciting and fun new ways.
Digital pages turn with a swipe and sound like a real book
Listen, Read, Laugh, and Learn
Choose one of three ways to enjoy the story: Read to Me, Read it Myself, or Auto Play. The Read to Me option allows your child to listen to the narrated story, highlighting the words as they are read. The Read it Myself option allows your child to read each page in the traditional form and turn each page with a swipe. Auto Play will play the story like a movie, automatically reading and turning the pages; this is the best option for very young children.
From page to page, your child can touch anywhere on the screen and learn a new word. Individual words are highlighted as the story is read, making it simple for children to follow along and recognize words. Touch the words or long-press any paragraph to have them repeated. To enhance learning by picture and word association, your child can touch any image on the screen and the word will pop up, identifying the object in bright, bold letters.

Delightful Details, Unexpected Fun
Unique background music and surprising audio elements add unexpected fun to the storytime experience. A jolly narrator tells the familiar holiday tale with gusto, and nicely-placed sound effects make each page full of sweet fun.
Audio clips from the original TV special mean that familiar voices--like those of Rudolph, Hermey, Yukon Cornelius, and many more--come to life in a new way.
Add art that enlarges to reveal delightful details (based closely on the the TV special's original stop-motion animation scenes), and this omBook is sure to make your little one giggle!

another quality book app from Oceanhouse. Great sound clips from the claymation vintage movie. My 2 1/2 year old absolutely loves it. I wish people wouldn't give bad reviews if they obviously don't know how to operate an electronic device.

This is a cute story, but hardly keeps my daughter's attention. I'm glad it was free, otherwise I would be disappointed.

downloaded the app because it was free. Tried it out and it was a fine app. I just haven't used it for any length of time because it didn't interest me.

My 3 1/2 year old had just seen the movie for the first time a week prior, so when she saw this while we were shopping around for a new book I thought we had a winner. Read more
