Wonderful
My 7 year old won't put it down
Superb!
What a terrific way for children to start reading. My 4 year old picked it up and like second nature, the gentle, careful stylings fed curiosities and also the wonders of technology. Don't miss out!
A great example of making a book interactive
Very well done. The words are highlighted as they are read, making it clear what each word is as a learning experience. The ability to touch various objects onscreen is also a great learning too. The overall design is wonderful and engaging. My daughter is only 19 months, but I'm reading these to her. I would like to see a way to lock the screen and prevent touches but still allow navigation - she loves to hold the phone while reading.
