Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown! Some of my friends watch Elf, others prefer A Christmas Story, my kids and I always get in the Christmas spirit by watching A Charlie Brown Christmas. There is something about the Christmas pageant, that sad little Christmas tree and Schroeder on the piano that just makes us get in the holiday mood. Last year, I purchased the Charlie Brown Christmas app and fell in love! This is the full version of the story in book form, complete with interactive elements that add to the magic. For a limited time, you can purchase a copy of the app for 60% off! Merry Christmas to us all!If you would like to purchase Charlie Brown Christmas (on sale for $1.99, regularly $4.99) please use our link below:
From Amazon:
A Charlie Brown Christmas, the beloved Peanuts classic by Charles M. Schulz, is now available as a spectacular interactive storybook optimized for your Android device. Sit back and enjoy original dialogue, digitally remastered illustrations, animation, music, and narration by Peter Robbins, the original voice of Charlie Brown."Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?!"
Only Charlie Brown can turn the magic of Christmas into a problem. Even though the snowflakes are falling softly, carols are ringing sweetly, and people are gathering merrily, Charlie Brown is feeling down. He just doesn't understand Christmas. Join him, along with Snoopy and the entire Peanuts gang as they struggle to find the true meaning of Christmas. It's all accompanied by a charming soundtrack featuring music and sound effects from the original show.
Reading is Wonder-Full
This version of A Charlie Brown Christmas is bursting with fun interactivities that will delight children and adults alike. Go caroling with the Peanuts choir, finger-paint with the gang, and participate in the Spectacular Super-Colossal Neighborhood Christmas Lights and Display Contest to unlock decorations for your very own Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. You can even play Schroeder's piano (to the tune of "Linus and Lucy", of course). Note highlighting helps to introduce and improve musical skills.
Little readers will love turning pages with the swipe of a finger. They can also watch text highlighting as they listen to the story narration, hear individual words spoken with a single tap, touch and drag objects to make them spring to life or tilt to watch them slide and move, and much more. With something to discover on every page, this is one interactive Peanuts adventure you won't want to miss this holiday season!
