OK, I admit to being a little skeptical of Scribblenauts.

Even if Tycho of Penny Arcade was waxing poetical on the subject.  But I introduced my kids to the Scribblenauts apps on the Kindle and iPad and danged if they didn’t get instantly hooked on it. My youngest suddenly started sounding out the word ‘lion’ in his eagerness to get a lion on that screen. That was worth the 99 cents, right there.

So, hey, seriously, check it out.
