Dr. Seuss's ABCs

Scott: Classic iPad usage scenario: kids' books cost a lot and tear easily. Dr. Seuss classics galore fill the App Store, and at a few bucks a pop, they're among the better values for toddler apps.

My son is a huge Dr. Seuss fan, and the nice part about these e-books is how low-key they are, focusing on the beautiful Seussian artwork. You can choose to eliminate the sound effects and autoplay (as I do) or have it read and highlight words. All the books have fun audio surprises, but the ABC book is particularly fun.
