PORTLAND, OR, October 25, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- MrsP.com, the award-winning, interactive digital storybook website for children, announced the release today of its first iPhone application -- Mrs. P's Reader Challenge. The free app helps kids improve their reading and comprehension skills using a quirky multiple-choice game that rewards winners with a pot of gold.
The easy-to-use app, co-created by a Hollywood production team, features five popular stories from MrsP.com's Magic Library, including The Emperor's New Clothes and The Princess and the Pea. The game is brought to life using the voice and image of TV celebrity Kathy Kinney (The Drew Carey Show) as Mrs. P.
"There are so many apps out there but nothing quite like this - a fun and funny game to help kids become better readers while they're on the go," said Kinney. "I'm excited I finally get to show it off."
Mrs. P's Reader Challenge app, designed for kids between the ages of 4-10, continues the company's mission to provide children and parents with interactive educational content in kid-friendly environments anywhere and anytime they want it.
Early or slower readers who need a little help playing the Reading Challenge game can visit www.MrsP.com, where Mrs. P will read the stories to them before they take the quiz.
