Thanksgiving Fun with Apps for Everyone

Thanksgiving is just a few days away, and I’m sure we’re all gearing up for different ways to spend the holiday. I’m getting ready to entertain my family with a traditional Thanksgiving meal while others are traveling or planning for some R&R around town. Here’s a short list of must-have apps to keep everyone entertained during the holiday weekend.

Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots: The whole family will love this new twist on the classic game especially the new customizable content, including new backgrounds and blades and never-before-seen fruit frenzy adventures.

Astraware Crossword Deluxe: My husband and I love this game as it gives us the chance to take our favorite pastime wherever we go.

Where's my Perry: This is the latest puzzler from Disney, the makers of Where’s My Water. My son spends hours trying to help Agent P! get to the headquarters for a mission briefing by using water in all its different forms, from ice to steam to liquid.

Super Why! – My daughter’s a huge fan of the PBS show and now she can continue her learning on my NOOK. She can play along with each of the main characters from the TV series: Alpha Pig, Princess Presto, Wonder Red, and, of course, Super Why, while practicing the alphabet, rhyming, spelling, writing and reading.

Goodnight Moon - 65th Anniversary Special Edition – And to round it all out – with a touch, swipe or tilt of the screen little fingers send the cow jumping over the moon, make the three little bears chatter and laugh in their chairs, and hear the old woman whispering "hush." As an added bonus, the slowly fading light helps my little ones drift off to sleep while reading this classic that every parent should own.

Anything you need during your time over the holidays – from music with Grooveshark to cooking with Pepper Plate – you can find it on NOOK … and all these great apps go perfectly with another helping of Pumpkin Pie.
