This is an amazing little app.  It is perfect for 1st grade students but can also be used PreK-6th grade- depending on students abilities on the iPad.  Our first graders produced some super cute little ebooks that they can easily share with parents via email.  This very user friendly app and the kids love it!   I am always truly amazed how fast the kids catch on.  In this app, the kids can use their own pictures (by taking a photo with the iPad), create their own art (by drawing pictures that go along with their story) and use their voices by recording their own where they become the storyteller.  If you link up to the Little Bird Tales website you will find Lessons linked to the common core standards for K-6th Grade.  Also they have a link to public created tales for more ideas.
