The Magic Book app will allow you to bring characters from the Magic Book series of animated coloring books to life. We turned an ordinary coloring book into a magic one, letting your child bring to life his or her drawings with the help of a tablet or smartphone. The animated characters look just the way they were colored. The characters move as if they were real and practically stand up on the page of the book. Your child can interact with them and look at them in 3-D. The main character of the coloring book is a smart panda named "Alphie". Alphie, a talking panda voiced by a professional actor, constantly communicates with your child. He helps the child to interact with the app and coloring book and provides useful information on each character.
