Apple Links with British Publisher for children's book

The Telegraph reports that Apple has linked up with a British publisher to launch a children's picture book on the iPhone.

They claim it's a first, but this is not entirely accurate, because Houghton Mifflin and ScollMotion released Curious George’s Dictionary's iphone app and there are comic books in the app store, like Luky Luke .

Winged Chariot Press has published The Surprise by Sylvia van Ommen, which tells the story of a sheep which makes a gift for a friend, on the iPhone.

Parents can download The Surprise for 59p direct to their iPhones, and children can follow the illustrations on the touch-sensitive screens.
