As sometimes happens, trying this free app makes me realize I need to go through a lot of apps we've rated and lower their ratings. Scribble Press allows kids to combine their own writing and artwork (or clip art or imported images) into a book and even includes some "starter books," which work sort of like Mad Libs, to help inspire them.
It also has a shared library of books written by other children (they can share their own as well with parental consent) and could easily be used by a parent/educator to create social stories. Including adult help for younger kids, the age range for this app is substantial. There are no ads or in-apps, although completed books can be purchased as real, printed books.
This one is a must-have for your iPad and it's FREE...and it would be a must-have even if it wasn't free.

* Rather than just post a list with links we're going to find one free app each day, make sure it's worth downloading, and post the info.
Here are the rules:
1) The app has to have some substance as free. In other words, it can't be a few seconds of play and then require an in-app purchase.
2) My kids or I have to like it.
3) It can't have ads all over it.
