FRANKLIN, TN (December 17, 2009) – Big Idea, Inc., in partnership with ScrollMotion, announces the launch of the first ever VeggieTales® Children’s Book Reader for iPhone and iPod Touch, available this month from the iTunes app store. Each VeggieTales book app is specially priced for just $3.99.

This all-new ScrollMotion Iceberg Kids App for VeggieTales creates a fun interactive reading experience designed specifically for small fingers and inquisitive minds. Millions of iPhone or iPod Touch users can purchase select VeggieTales stories for use with the free Iceberg Reader application and expand upon the traditional children’s book reading experience by incorporating such breakthrough features as scrolling image exploration, interactive controls and a native voiceover reading, as well as a voice recorder so that children can replay a recorded version of a parent’s or caregiver’s reading of the story. VeggieTales’ titles, available exclusively through iTunes, include LarryBoy and the Golden Gum Balls (LINK TO BUY LARRYBOY BOOK APP), The Good, The Bad and the Silly (LINK TO BUY THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE SILLY), The Fastest Dodgeball in the West (LINK TO BUY THE FASTEST DODGEBALL) and The Surprising Knight (LINK TO BUY COMING SOON.)

“We are thrilled to bring the VeggieTales brand to life on the iPhone and iPod Touch,” said John Lema, ScrollMotion CEO. “With its vivid imagery and captivating narratives, the VeggieTales series is perfect for this new interactive reading experience.”

The VeggieTales Children’s Book Reader also incorporates the most up-to-date Iceberg Kids App features including:

· “Create Your Own Audio Book” – Users can record their own voices, creating personalized stories on the go that can automatically read back to children.

· “Tactile Reading Experience” – Readers may zoom in and scroll through pictures by pinching and sliding fingers to explore new worlds of full color illustrations.

· “Persistent Table of Contents and Book Navigation” – The reader maintains pagination to keep the user oriented while reading, while providing a persistent table of contents that allows readers to skip to specific books chapters or favorite pages.
