    iStorytime has made a new app for reading with children, Danny the Dragon. It's not the content of the storybook, however that's got us excited. This app for iPhone and iPad is one of the first (if not the first) to include video of the story being read with sign language enhancement. Now, if you're expecting something super slick or high tech, you've come to the wrong place. This app incorporates simple videos of the story being read, and a woman signing along. Still, it's a pretty great use of applications, the power of mobile devices, and the app store ecosystem. Video of the app in action is below.
