Cinderella: A 3-D Fairy Tale (Nosy Crow, 2011)

Wild About Books written by Judy Sierra; illus. by Marc Brown (Random House Digital, 2011)

Dragon Brush by John Solimine and Andy Hullinger (Small Planet Digital, 2012)
In this story based on a Chinese folktale, Bing-Wen discovers a magic paintbrush which brings his art to life. Text, art, sound, animation, and interactive elements are well-balanced.

Pigeon Presents…Mo on the Go! written and illus. by Mo Willems (Hyperion, 2013)
