Disney Publishing has released its first Android application, "Winnie the Pooh: What's a Bear to Do?". It's an interactive children's book, starring one of the most loved characters of our childhood, that's sure to be a hit with any pint-sized Android lovers you have scurrying underfoot around the house. It's more than just an eBook, though. Features of the app include:
- Read in any of 5 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, or Japanese!
- Professional narration, sound effects, and Winnie the Pooh background music
- Readers can record their voice or their child’s reading the story
- Three reading modes to suit any reader’s mood: Read to Me, Use My Recording, and Auto Turn pages
- Four interactive jigsaw puzzles
- Tap ‘n’ Play surprises throughout the story – several new animated sequences added for Android
- Pooh’s Cupboard matching game ties in to the story and reinforces color recognition
- Visual Index allows readers to jump to their favorite page or puzzle
Disney's published a video (after the break) and I have to say, this looks very nicely done. It's a name your child is sure to know and love, and time spent with a book (even of the application variety) certainly beats time spent in front of the television. You can grab it from the Android Market (devices running 2.0 and higher) for $2.99. The link as well as that video, is after the break.

May have to check it out on my XOOM. Would rather have something like this from SI though or Car and Driver
This showed up on my SD card without permission, but just the image up above and a few files. I noticed it last night, it was bizarre.
I had the same thing happen. It's not the first time. I think it's coming from 'Words with Friends'
Funny, but the title in German translates entirely differently. In German it's "The Great Honey Search."
Fun book. I expected my girls (ages 5 and 8) would find it a bit hokey, but they loved it!
Good game app for the children to have funny while playing.....! Android became a Amazing platform!
