ST. CHARLES, Ill. (June 17, 2011)--"Weird Al" Yankovic is releasing an app for the children's book he published this spring.
The app for "When I Grow Up" includes Yankovic reading the story with sound effects, interactions with characters and settings, games based on the book's events, and a feature that allows children to put their own names in the story.
Yankovic says he started writing the book when his daughter was 4, thinking it would be a good bedtime book for her.
By the time it came out, his daughter was reading it to him, he said.
