Mantle Mark Schlichting | products = interactive storybook apps | website = www.wanderfulstorybooks.com }} Wanderful interactive storybooks is a developer of interactive storybook apps based on the titles originally published as Living Books by Broderbund Software. The company was founded in 2010 by Mickey W. Mantle, who oversaw the original Living Books technology development as Vice President of Engineering and Chief Technical Officer at Brøderbund.[1] Mantle, CEO of Wanderful, assembled a small team of the original Brøderbund programmers to create a new engine that could take the animation, graphics, sound and music from the original Living Books CD-ROMs and play them back at full-screen resolution on the iPad using a touch, rather than a mouse driven interface.[2] Mark Schlichting – creator[3] of the Living Books series – joined the team as Chief Creative Officer and developed touch-driven updates to the original mouse-driven interface. Through a number of corporate mergers, the publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt had acquired the rights to the Living Books titles and content.[4] Wanderful secured the rights from HMH to republish the new and updated titles and concurrently negotiated rights with many of the authors of the individual stories that became Living Books. Living Books TitlesWanderful has so far re-released the following Living Books titles as iOS Apps (in order by release date):
