CLOSED Ruckus Media Group ~ Children's Digital Apps Giveaway!


I have to say, I am pretty jealous about this next giveaway. I am not kidding when I tell you that it made me want to go out and buy an iPad, iTouch, or iPhone.

Recently Ruckus Media Group partnered with some pretty amazing celebrities to offer children great digital applications that are both entertaining and educational. In a recent press release Founder and CEO of Ruckus Media Group Rick Richter was quoted as saying,

“We create stories for mobile devices that entertain toddlers to teens from their fingers to their minds, at home or on the road—and invite their imaginations to grow,”

“Our applications are ideal for today’s families who are perpetually ‘on the go.’ It’s our goal to immerse children in a world of imagination.”

Each of the read-play-record applications is available from Apples iTunes app store for the affordable price of $3.99 each. They all feature not only the classic story, but also the ability to record your own voice for a personal story telling experience!

Again, I am wishing we had something to download these applications to – how amazing would it be for the Hubs to be able to record the stories for when he is overseas and away from our son? Perfect for any parent, grandparent, or family!


As of right now Ruckus Media group has FIVE great applications available for purchase right now!!

· Tom Thumb and the Knights of the Round Table, told by John Cleese, illustrated by Tim Gabor, music by Elvis Costello

· The Velveteen Rabbit, told by Meryl Streep, illustrated by Dave Jorgenson, music by George Winston

· Johnny Appleseed, told by Garrison Keillor, illustrated by Stan Olson, music by Mark O’Connor

· Pecos Bill, told by Robin Williams, illustrated by Tim Raglin, music by Ry Cooder

· John Henry, told by Denzel Washington, illustrated by Barry Jackson, music by B.B. King

There's nowhere on ruckusmediagroup.com to make the mandatory entry. Perhaps this isn't a real contest that's possible to be won?

I've followed in twitter and facebook. My daughters would love to hear Tom Thumb.
