Warning: Your Children's Books May Be Toxic

Reader Comments

Back to blog

I don't think this is anything to worry about but you might consider reading children's books from an iPhone or iPod Touch. Kids especially love reading picture books this way with the iPhone/iPod Touch screen clarity and colors. The Toy Lounge of St. Paul MN (theToyLounge.com) creates iPhone apps for children's books and other picture books, working with authors and publishers. No chance of getting toxic ink from your iPhone!
