“Who Stole the Moon,” written by Helen Stratton-Would and illustrated by Vlad Gerasimov, is not only a charming story about a boy’s imagination, but this ebook also introduces a new genre of digital publishing.  Windy Press dubs this new genre the e-musical, “In addition to fine illustrations, vivid animation, as well as 4 mini-games, the book includes 8 original songs, performed by award-winning American children’s singer Susie Tallman and well-known Australian musician Richard Pleasance.”  Children can enjoy reading and singing along to “Who Stole the Moon” in 15 different languages.

This ebook application for iPad and iPhone illustrates how technology can empower learning when used appropriately.  “Who Stole the Moon?” engages children to think, listen, investigate through the interactive pages, and problem solve with 4 different mini-games.  The app makes learning a fun experience for children, holding strong potential to revolutionize childhood education.  This multimedia approach to education also provides a real hands on approach that was not available five years ago.

It is important to keep in mind that not all education apps are automatically beneficial to a child’s learning development.  Education applications must be carefully crafted and developed to interact with children in a manner that provides the most valuable cognitive experience.  “Who Stole the Moon?” is one educational app and ebook that brings new learning dimensions to and enhances the traditional bedtime story.  By incorporating various cognitive activities from reading to music comprehension, problem solving to exploration, “Who Stole the Moon?” engages a learning experience of multiple proportions.
