Apps give a new spin on the Christmas season tradition of telling stories as families wait for December 25 to approach. These ebooks are free to download from the Apple app store, and they offer varying degrees of interactivity. In some cases, they are audiobooks and ebooks blended into one app.

The Very First Christmas (The Birth of Jesus) by Denny Kaltreider

There are two options for kids who want to read The Very First Christmas (The Birth of Jesus) by Denny Kaltreider. The book can be listened to as it is narrated like an audiobook. Pictures scroll by as music plays and Denny Kaltreider and Mark Hengst narrate the story, which is based on Gospel accounts of the nativity. When the narrator speaks, the words are changed to a color font on the screen. The other option is to read the book and listen to the music only.

There are options to turn the background on or off, turn on auto play, and turn the text on or off, so kids can interact with The Very First Christmas as an ebook, an audiobook, or a picture book. The Very First Christmas (The Birth of Jesus) by Denny Kaltreider is produced by Story Chimes and Siena Entertainment, LLC. Story Chimes which has a library of digital books for kids available in the iTunes store.
