Vancouver (BC) Canada – After a two-year hiatus, Boynton Moo Media and Loud Crow Interactive are back with their next digital book collaboration: But Not The Hippopotamus. A fine and funny children’s classic, But Not The Hippopotamus is the fifth installment in the multiple award-winning Boynton Moo Media interactive story series.
“When we got together to decide what our fifth app should be, Loud Crow had the terrific idea to ask our fans and followers to choose for us,” explains Boynton. “But Not The Hippopotamus was the winner by an overwhelming majority.”
Designed with engaging interactive elements that enable the reader to turn, tap and tilt their way through the story, But Not the Hippopotamus delivers an important moral lesson… along with plenty of giggles. Available exclusively on the iPhone and iPad September 5th, But Not The Hippopotamus is bound to become a favorite anytime book for little readers and their parents alike.

* Touch, tap and tilt technology that brings unexpected interactivity to Boynton’s herd of cuddly creatures
* Redrawn and re-colored original artwork from the original best-selling children’s board book

* Realistic page turning interactions that mimic the original board book look and feel
