MEDIA ADVISORY, Nov. 12 /Christian Newswire/ -- JMG Studio, a leading supplier of children's products to Christian retailers recently launched its first three APPS for use with iPhone and iTouch systems.

The "iABC Noah" APP uses the classic biblical tale of Noah's Ark, complete with colorful, engaging illustrations of animals and silly sounds to help children learn the letters of the alphabet. Children can also trace letters on the screen to learn to write each letter.

The "iPuzzle Cartoon" APPS assortment takes the classic puzzles with plastic pieces concept to a digital level. Children can move the pieces of the puzzle into their designated slots until the puzzle is completed, helping to strengthen shape and visual recognition skills. There are four puzzles available in varying sizes, featuring over 30 cartoon illustrations based on the bible.

The delightful children's book "Hugo & the Bug" by Jeff Shultz spins the whimsical tale of a girl who literally runs into a gorilla on the sidewalk... and quickly befriends the silly simian! Shultz, known for drawing the BETTY & VERONICA comic book for Archie Comics, writes and draws this fun-filled new series that is sure to appeal to any child... or adult... who has ever wished for an unusual pet. Or simply anyone with an active imagination!
