The frantically paced demo video (above) is a little over-the-top, but there&#8217;s no question this is a showpiece iPad app. Thankfully, there&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/download.cnet.com\/Alice-for-the-iPad-Lite\/3000-2125_4-75178306.html\">free Lite version<\/a> you can try before splurging on the $8.99 full version.<\/p>\n<p><b>2.<\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/ax.search.itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZSearch.woa\/wa\/search?entity=k2software&amp;media=all&amp;page=1&amp;restrict=false&amp;startIndex=0&amp;term=dr.+seuss+ipad\" target=\"_blank\" data-component=\"externalLink\">Dr. Seuss books<\/a>\u00a0 Already among my favorites (uh, I mean, my <i>kids&#8217;<\/i> favorites)<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/the-cat-in-the-hat-comes-back-to-the-iphone\/\">on the iPhone<\/a><\/span>, Oceanhouse Media&#8217;s three Seuss titles&#8211;&#8220;Dr. Seuss&#8217; ABC,&#8221; &#8220;The Cat in the Hat,&#8221; and &#8220;How the Grinch Stole Christmas&#8221;&#8211;are just that much bigger and better on the iPad. Each interactive story sells for $2.99&#8211;quite a bit less than their respective hardcovers (as it should be).
