A Charlie Brown Christmas by Loud Crow Interactive Inc. is an app that will bring back memories of the cartoon of the same name to old and young alike.

The app will remind you of the fun, heartwarming cartoon as you play Schroeder’s piano, go caroling, light up the Christmas lights, finger paint, and more with every page.

This interactive app contains original dialogue and soundtrack music from the 1965 cartoon. It’s narrated by Peter Robbins, who voiced Charlie Brown, and offers word and note highlighting.

If you take part in the Lights and Display contest you’ll unlock rewards.

As you read the story, you can tap on individual words and see the spoken, which helps young readers learn new words. The objects in the app are also interactive, so you can click on them to touch and drag them to make them come to life.

One of the great features of the app is the Table of Contents that lets you jump to any part of the book or to any of your most favorite places.

This universal app will work on any iOS device but is optimized for the iPhone 5. There are many in-app purchases you can make, most for $0.99 each. You don’t have to buy anything to enjoy the app, of course.
Just like the original cartoon, A Charlie Brown Christmas will help you find the spirit of Christmas this year, even if you find yourself dragging your feet when it comes to getting into the swing of things.

The app was updated on November 29, 2012. The current version has a total of 1142 customer ratings with an average of five out of five stars.

I love the original story and this app lives up to the tradition. If you enjoy A Charlie Brown Christmas cartoon, then try out the iOS app this holiday season.
