To coincide with Spot’s 30th anniversary, publisher Frederick Warne launched the first ever Spot iPad app: Spot Goes to School.
The app has become the No. 1 paid for book app, knocking the Toy Story app off the top spot!
The Spot Goes to School app is an interactive lift‐the‐flap story for children aged 2 – 5 years. They can enjoy an enhanced reading experience, looking through the pages and touching the screen to lift flaps and find fun, interactive elements hidden in the pictures.
We in Edinburgh are hoping that the proposal to site an Apple store on Princes Street might go ahead and we will then be able to experience all things Apple right here on our doorstep. We reported this story to you recently and are keeping a close eye on progress.
Features include:
• • • •
Spot Goes to School lift‐the‐flap story with interactive elements to find in the pictures Shake the iPad to jumble the objects on Spot’s nature table and drag and drop to tidy it Game helps to develop children’s observation and co‐ordination skills Information for parents and teachers on how to use Spot books and apps with their child.
Eric Hill, creator of Spot said
‘I am happy that the Spot app is spearheading a new direction for children’s books on the iPad. ‘Spot Goes to School’ in this new form will increase the fun of reading and learning by providing more interactive elements whilst still keeping the essential simplicity of the original book. With this new app, Spot continues to innovate and expand the enjoyment of books for children.’

And this is Edinburgh-related news how exactly?
We believe that there may be an Apple store here soon – we wrote about this last week – sorry forgot to link the two articles but thanks for the heads up and we will do so now!
