Plus, there’s more cute Halloween fun with Apple’s featured apps.

by Loud Crow Interactive Inc.
Great Pumpkin takes the classic Charlie Brown show and turns it into a wonderful, animated pop-up book. Follow along with the story, have it read to you and your child, or read it yourself, then choose costumes for the Peanuts characters, and even carve an on-screen pumpkin. Great on iPad, and now
