Bedford Hills, NY, March 24, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Dan Wetzel, author and illustrator, has published a new interactive children's picture book, "Being Benny," available through Apple's App Store for the iPad and iPhone. A fresh, original story with humor, depth and a fabulous new cartoon character with heart. Benny goes on an adventure into an imaginary world to escape the doldrums of a boring, rainy day. The brightly colored, playful illustrations depict Benny in a variety of different forms - A stomping dinosaur, a clock who's late and even a gopher underground. An excellent choice for the reluctant reader. The application features a "Read to Me, Please" option with character voice over as well as an "I'll Read it Myself" option. With either mode, your child can simply touch a phrase to have it read aloud. The App is produced by Artgig Studio and published by Purple Sneakers Studio.
