Callaway Digital Arts and Sesame Street Bring New Educational Mobile App Another Monster at the End of This Book to iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch

NEW YORK, Nov. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Callaway Digital Arts, Inc. (www.callaway.com), interactive publisher of premium children's and lifestyle mobile applications, and Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street, announce their second collaboration, Another Monster at the End of This Book for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.

In this sequel, fan-favorite Elmo joins lovable, furry Grover in a giggle-filled, play-along story, which builds children's literacy skills and teaches socio-emotional concepts while engaging readers from beginning to end. Built using innovative technology and bursting with humor and rich interactive activities, which are woven right into the narrative, Another Monster at the End of This Book will provide hours of tap-happy, educational fun for kids (and grown-ups) of all ages. This time, Grover is still fearful of what awaits him at the end of the story—and finds comical new ways to prevent readers from turning pages. But the ever-curious Elmo slips past him every time—with the user's help.

The educational app's many features include word highlighting, hilarious animation with both Grover and Elmo, bookplate personalization so a child can add his name, and research-informed tips to help parents and children explore the story's themes on a deeper level.

"Following the runaway success of the first The Monster at the End of This Book app, we are thrilled to bring little monsters everywhere the second installment in this best-selling series," said Callaway Digital Arts Chief Creative Officer, Nicholas Callaway. "This time, both Grover and Elmo step off the page to interact directly with your child in a completely immersive, enriching experience that fully harnesses the potential of touchscreen devices."

Scott Chambers, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Media Distribution, Sesame Workshop, says, "Another Monster at the End of This Book enhances the fun of this title, and has been a perennial Sesame Street favorite since it was first published in 1996. This new story invites young readers on an adventure with their good friends Elmo and Grover, and the app brings it to life in a way that will capture children's attention and have them anxious to turn the page."

Callaway and Sesame Workshop's first app, The Monster at the End of This Book, debuted nearly a year ago, often ranking among the top 10 book apps in the App Store, and reached number one in the books category again last week.

Another Monster at the End of This Book is now available for a limited-time introductory price of $0.99 USD from the App Store on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
