My favorite book apps are
Book Creator - Really versatile, lots of options, makes really nice looking books but I wouldn't start my second graders with this app. It's a lot going on. I would get them started with Scribble Press and then move to Book Creator.
Story Buddy2 - Love this app for math stories. Records your voice, great for small group collaborations.
and Scribble Press - Good starter app, easy to use, easy to share and great way to make class books. Downside- all the books are in a line and students accidentally click on the wrong book. They updated the app so now you have to click on a choice after to click the book so that helps keep them out of other student's writing.
They are all kid friendly and can be shared online and in ibooks. I just downloaded Book Maker for Kids and love that it syncs with my other iPads. It also allows you to put in the students' names as the authors so all their books are listed under their name. No more book mix ups! I have a feeling this may quickly become my new favorite!
