The Review Wire: Summer Reads by Dena On July-6-2012 -- I was recently introduced to Auryn apps when I had the chance to review the iPad apps Edsel McFarland New Car and The Emperor’s Race. Auryn offers a series of books based on the character Miko. The app is based on Brigitte Weninger and Stephanie Roehe’s book by the same name, and illustrated by Stephanie Roehe. All the stories revolve around Miko, his mother and Miko’s stuffed toy, Mimiki.
