"Little Ashby: Star Reporter" Arrives Just In Time For Christmas And Holiday Season Teaching Kids Compassion
Online, December 6, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Siena Entertainment is excited to announce some great new Apps for the holiday season starting with the release of "Little Ashby: Star Reporter - Santa's Big Premiere." The Little Ashby series of interactive Apps was created for and in partnership with Nancy O'Dell, host of Entertainment Tonight.
Just in time for the Holiday comes the story of Little Ashby, the best cub reporter around, who
must journey to the North Pole for Santa's Big Premiere on Christmas Eve. Along with her
"FUNtastic" TV crew- Arty, Boomer, Cam, Mike, Padi and Shine - she must interview Santa and
file a report on what the holiday spirit is all about!!
Here's a big reason Nancy wanted to create Little Ashby, "I always say the reason I love being a
reporter is because I learn so much from the various people, places and events I have to cover. I
want kids to have that same opportunity to travel the world while learning so much in the
process. Little Ashby has all kinds of adventures planned, even going to the moon to learn about
man's landing there!"
"We're thrilled to bring to life this terrific new series with Nancy O'Dell. We couldn't think of a
better way to begin our collaboration with Nancy than with Little Ashby. Kids everywhere will
have fun reading the story and exploring the interactive features throughout the App. We look
forward to many more Little Ashby assignments," says Nick Bonomo, CEO and Co-Founder of
Siena Entertainment.
Also just released by Siena is "Laurie Berkner Sing and Send" karaoke app for kids. This
App debuted as the #1 Kids Music App at iTunes! Laurie Berkner fans everywhere can sing
along and video record themselves singing. They can even share their recorded videos with
friends and family with the App's easy-to-use features. It comes pre-loaded with 3 great Laurie
Berkner songs with additional song packs available soon.
Siena's "Hanukkah: Festival of Lights" storybook is the only Hanukkah storybook App featured
on the App Store this holiday season.
Other holiday offerings by Siena Entertainment include Harry Connick, Jr's, "The Happy Elf"
and a series of interactive Christmas music stories called SongBooks.
