An iPad app that is an interactive children's story about building an imaginary vehicle, "The Crankamacallit" is filled with interactive animation and sounds.

Using playful, rhythmic language and rhyme, "The Crankamacallit" draws the user into the fantastic 3D world of an inventor's workshop.

Kids love all the unpredictable moving parts of "The Crankamacallit". In an adventurous tale for the picture book crowd, 3-8 year olds (and their parents!) will be mesmerized by the step-by-step process of the Crankamacallit's creation and become active participants in the story by using the many interactive features, making unexpected discoveries, exploring 360-degree panoramas, using the hidden drawing tool and more.

Part poem, part story, this rhythmic 3D fantasy was written by Mimi Cross, modeled, animated & programmed for the iPad by Juergen Berkessel and narrated by acclaimed singer songwriter Robert Burke Warren, aka "Uncle Rock". Listeners will laugh out loud at the nuances of Warren's performance.
