Ladybird Classic Me Books is an app of pure nostalgic joy, offering a treasure trove of golden childhood memories. Now, fans of classic Ladybird books will be able to share them with a new generation of children thanks to a unique picture book reader for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch called Me Books.

Each title is packed with hidden hotspots that, on touching, trigger wonderful narration, funny character voices and sound effects from celebrities.

There’s more! You can then create your own interactive hotspots anywhere you like by drawing with your finger and recording your own voice or sounds using the device’s microphone. It’s a simple, powerful and brilliantly entertaining feature that allows a story to be endlessly re-told in all kinds of different ways.

Experience the beautiful and enchanting world of Classic Ladybird Books as you’ve never seen (or heard) them before, by adding a pinch of Me Books magic.

The Ladybird Classic Me Books app from Penguin Books Limited (“Penguin Books”) uses a third party app service provider (“Flurry”) in order to create accurate, real time user data reports so that Penguin Books can continue to improve the app user experience. The service collects and submits anonymous aggregated data about which app features are being used most frequently as well as your mobile device UDID (unique phone Identifiers) and/or IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identities), which are also anonymised via a secure hashing protocol, to Flurry servers. This information will be used to continually improve the features and functionality that Penguin Books releases in its subsequent versions of its mobile apps.
