Check Out the New KidZoo Books App for Kids!

KidZoo

I recently had the opportunity to download a new, adorable kids’ reading app called KidZoo Books – an iOS app designed especially for kids that provides fun ebooks for kids – perfect for ages 2-8 years-old.

Created by an independent publisher based in Long Beach, KidZoo Books aims to provide ebooks that engage, entertain and educate young readers.

Fun ebooks for kids!

The KidZoo Books app is special because of its quality.

So I started thinking about how to best extract the necessary information from him, when it comes to safety issues or important tidbits, in his rambling of tattles and chatter.
