Toronto, Canada - Rival Schools and publisher Loud Crow Interactive have announced the release of The Little People 1.0 for iOS, the third standalone storybook app in the award-winning Bramble Berry Tales series. Parents can choose to hand over their mobile devices to their kids with a fully narrated, voice-acted storybook app. Designed for young readers, simple touch interactions encourage kids to explore the screen. They are rewarded with effects that range from jiggly characters and sound effects to puffs of flour that pepper the screen.
