Classic 'Sweet Pickles' Books Now Available in Digital Form
First four enhanced E-books with audio for famed children's property launch, with more on the way
LOS ANGELES, June 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bento Box Interactive has brought one of the most successful, award-winning, young reader literary properties in history—"Sweet Pickles"—to a new digitally enhanced format that augments the story experience, and the fun, as never before. The company has announced the launch of the "Sweet Pickles" series in the E-book format—an experience that includes state-of-the-art production techniques, professional sound effects, narration, and character voices performed by award-winning voice actors.
The launch begins with the first four books in the 40 book series—"Who Stole Alligator's Shoe?," "Very Worried Walrus" (available for a limited time as a free download from the Apple iBookstore), "Scaredy Bear," and "Fixed by Camel." The enhanced E-books can be found at all major online book vendor sites, including Apple's iBookstore, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, with more on the way. By this summer, all 40 books in the series will be available in this format. It's an exciting new way for the whole family to enjoy the classic property, while also using it as an educational tool to give young readers a jump on learning.
Bento Box Interactive is an entertainment-based technology company focused on building a digital platform to distribute literary and entertainment properties to consumers through social and mobile media. Using this strategy, the company develops, publishes, and markets interactive storytelling experiences in various media and formats, ranging from audio-enhanced E-books to applications ("Apps") for mobile, tablet, and other digital content devices. "Sweet Pickles" exemplifies this approach, and the E-book rollout is just the first step in that property's movement into new forms of media. Bento Box Interactive controls rights to the franchise across all formats, and will soon be following the E-book launch with Apps and other digital manifestations of the property.
"We are thrilled to be re-launching the 'Sweet Pickles' book series in the interactive format," says Scott Greenberg, CEO of Bento Box Interactive.
