App Spotlight- Interactive picture book

Coming from Visual Design background, I always wished if somehow illustration could be integrated with apps. I never really liked the way every graphic element used in app was either taken from stock image sites or inspired from works posted on Dribble . Even in most kids app we can find a set style of imagery is used which has a general look. I felt the visual treatment lacked uniqueness.

Then one day I came across a storybook app Pickle – the little bird who doesn’t tweet  which was authored and illustrated by Alina Chau's work. Since it was an ios based app I couldn't download and experience it. I kept on searching in Android platform to find out similar apps.

Luckily, I found two apps which were free, developed by Fox and Sheep 
1. The Jungle Book
2. Nighty Night - Bedtime story

I love the illustrations and the tiny interactive animations that happen in these apps. Fox and Sheep collaborates with Illustrators to develop these apps. Artists like Chris Haughton and Christoph Niemann have collaborated with them.
