Ruckus Media Group recreate classic original stories for mobile devices such as iPhone, iTouch and iPad that entertain toddlers to teens from their fingers to their minds, at home or on the road.  Ruckus Media Group have gone all out and pulled some wonderful stars to narrate 5 true classic children books.  Meryl Streep, Denzel Washington, Robin Williams and John Cleese, narrates stories like The Velveteen Rabbit, Johnny Appleseed and Tom Thumb and combined with fabulous music by artists such as Elvis Costello, George Winston and B.B. King make this one powerful app for parents and children alike.  We were all impressed with the apps and would certainly recommend any parent with mobile media platforms
 to check this out.  My children were silent all the way to Grandma's - yay.
