Snow Queen: Magic iOS-book

To tell the truth, the idea is to tell you about this book appeared in February. But what kind of Christmas story can be in late winter and even more so in the midst of the summer heat? Overview bided his time, and it was necessary to happen that just last week, "The Snow Queen" cool updated, "make friends" with it and iPhone! So now all the reasons to introduce this book to everyone who is about it does not know yet.

Perhaps start. So, there lived a poet Ivan Malkovich - good-predobry, not as a troll zerkalschik of Andersen's fairy tales. :) Once he created a publishing houseWhat would have been proud of any writer. On the books with a "A-ba-ba-ga-la-ma-ha" we have always worked very talented, dedicated people: translators, literary editors, illustrators, web designers, typographers. When Ivan Antonovich had the idea to move one of my favorite books on the screens of "apple" tablets, there were no less talented developers and designers.

On a note. So unusual and funny name for your publisher Ivan Malkovich borrowed from the story of Ivan Franko "Grishina school learning, "in which the protagonist learned the basics of reading, and the word" a-ba-ba-ga-la-ma-ha "was the only thing he taught. :)

All his illustrations for "Snow Queen" - insanely beautiful! - Vladislav Erko created without using a computer, only the traditional tools of the artist. And before Timecode developers had a difficult task to turn all the pictures in the electronic image that they not only have not lost their "paper" charm, but became animated at the same time and interactive.

Said the project was a success - it does not say anything. Each illustration of the book is full of interactive elements that react to touch. I love Beetle in the garden old woman who sings baritone waving wings tune "La donna tends to change ...," and toy Musketeers, purring in French: "At your service, madam! At your service, sir mon! ":)) A cozy kitchen with a crackling fireplace, and a bedroom prince and princess with magical portraits and ice castle of the Queen - on each picture, you can "freeze" for a long time, poking a finger around or playing in one of the seven mini-games. Moreover, as far as I noticed, for the two years of existence of this book, it appeared a lot of new rigmarole, such as bright and funny sounded.

The book responds not only to prikosoveniya: Blow on the tablet, or tap it - and the snow goes stronger and brighter in the hearth fire breaks out. And some of the illustrations is involved a front camera of the device: you can look at yourself in the mirror troll and frozen coffee and can replace the venerable lord (by the way, is very similar to Pushkin) and his little girl, insert your face in tantamaresku - very funny.

But, what am I, really played, and have not told anything about the textual part of the book. :) I really like the simple but very easy to read layout: the text is large enough and contrast. If too lazy to read (or skills for long-term reading is not enough) - click on the mouse in the upper right corner, and she opened the book and begins to read aloud a pleasant melodious voice. At the same time sounding at the moment of the text fragment will be highlighted in red - can be monitored and read in conjunction with the mouse, just as in karaoke. :)

If you have not got this wonderful fairy tale, I strongly advise to buy it at one of the four languages: Russian, Ukrainian, English or Japanese. Any Tale, released in light of the publishing house "A-ba-ba-ga-la-ma-ha" - a real masterpiece of the book is not only for children but also for adults. Stunning illustrations wonderful translations. Despite his very childhood is not, for me is still a source of pride is the Ukrainian edition adventures of Harry Potter, which is rightfully one of the best in the world; book-shifter with tales of Lewis Carroll and now this interactive tale about the Snow Queen, which you can read and listen to, not only on the plates, but now Apple's smartphones.
