If only we had this when we were kids: Alice in Wonderland on the iPad

This alone is a solid enough reason for us to plonk RM2000 on an iPad when international pre-orders go live.

The classic children’s book Alice in Wonderland is completely transformed into a fully interactive, animated and immersive reading experience in its first ever iBook rendition.

Every page on this iBook comes to life with interactive elements and real physics. Tilt the iPad and Alice will grow big as a house, or shrink to just six inches tall. Play with the White Rabbit’s pocket watch and it realistically swings and bounces. Hand out sweets that bounce and collide with the magical talking Dodo.

Try doing that with your Kindle.

If you already have an iPad, the lite version is, of course, free and the full version will set you back US$9 or about RM30. Considering a trad children’s pop-up costs about the same price or possibly more, we reckon books like this on iPad is really bang for the buck.

Check out the video after jump. Apparently the demo shown is the lite edition.

If only we had this when we were kids…what a wonderful world.
