Yes, we spelled it that way on purpose. (T)Seussday, March 2nd, is the birthday of the wizard of words and to celebrate, all of the applications will be on sale for a cheap $0.99! Each of the eBooks sell for $3.99 on a daily basis, and the camera apps go for $2.99. On the 2nd, you’ll be able to grab the whole collection for $5.94 instead of the usual $20.94. Oceanhouse Media is working exclusively with Dr. Seuss Enterprises to bring all of the master’s great works to the iPhone and iPod touch — and have a lot of fun on the way. Clicking the image to the right will open iTunes.

I have a few of these apps, and I’ve really been impressed with Oceanhouse Media’s work. They aren’t just copying the original books from one medium to the next, they’re putting a tremendous amount of thought into the whole Dr. Seuss experience. Their holiday game “Grinchmas!” was a great success in the App Store and (I’m a little afraid to admit) wasted much of my time over holiday break. Realistically, these applications are not time wasters; they’re a great way to share the world of Dr. Seuss with your family and friends. We had the whole family throwing snowballs at one point.

The Dr. Seuss collection will be expanding as time allows. Oceanhouse Media is planning on bringing these applications to the iPad and introducing more titles in the future. It will be quite an effort to get all of the Doctor’s work brought to the Cocoa Touch platform, but we can’t wait for more. The introduction of the iPad and the new iBook Store will definitely bring new opportunities for interactive books that will increase a child’s desire to read and learn. With the direction education has gone recently, every little bit will help. ;)

Head over to the App Store and grab these apps now. The 99 cent price is good for Tuesday only… they go back to normal on Wednesday (if that wasn’t obvious). If you have kids or grew up reading the works of Dr. Seuss, these are great apps that you’ll use time and time again. When I’m having a bad day, I swipe over to throw some snowballs at noisy houses or read the whimsical lyrics of my favorite children’s author. Snowballs or chuckles, this is definitely a CTA recommended buy.
