Oceanhouse Media was the primary inventor of the format in which many children’s digital book apps are presented today. Their combination of “Read To Me, Read It Myself and Auto Play” features, as well as word highlighting and picture/word association techniques (first introduced in the Fall of 2009), have been adopted by many children’s digital book app publishers.
