The best book app

Version 1.7
I have started downloading some eBooks to the iPhone to see what the experience is all about. I wanted to see what was available for young kids since I have 4 of them just in case I need some "emergency" entertainment at some point. Quite frankly there is not much to choose in the book category unless you go for a game. Of course, I wanted to be a responsible father and wanted a reading experience for my kids. This app was the answer that I was looking for. The interactivity and design makes it fun to go through the story and the games are sort of bonuses. I wish there was something similar in the adult market.

Version 2.0
Definitely found it novel and original, with good level of polish. My daughter is too young for most of this but she will like tapping out as the app has a lot of sounds and responses to input.

Version 2.0
My four year old loves this App. The story she has watched multiple times each day for the last week. The matching game is her favorite thing for us to play together. Look forward for more Apps like this.
Very Entertaining!

Version 2.0.1
Awesome app for kids! There is a lot included in this app.-an animated story, puzzles (12), painting (50 images), matching cards, and a tap version of the story. The app works very well and runs smoothly. I like how the puzzles are divided into easy and hard levels. I hope the developer will add an easy level on the matching game as well. The painting option is very easy to use and has a tutorial. At 50 images, the replay value is high. You can save the images and then print them when you sync your photos withA your computer. The story is well told and can either be watched with animations that run on their own or you can put it on the tap setting. On the tap setting, you manually "turn" the pages and the story is written on the bottom of the page. Extremely well polished app! My daughter loves it! The price is so low for all that you get. Try going to Barnes and Noble and get a high quality interactive (which would be no where near this interactive) children's book, coloring book, matching games, and 12 puzzles for that price! Plus all this fits in my pocket and is readily available in those "need something to entertain my child moments"- priceless! :) I highly recommend this app! Great job to the developers!
Polished, Educational and Entertaining.

Version 2.0.1
This is a fantastic polished app for kids that goes magnificently deep. I would recommend to anyone trying it get the kids to watch the movie first, then if their at the age get them to read via the tab option. Once that's done they will have a great familiarization to the story. From then on the matching, coloring and puzzle games will have a real meaning for them. I love how the puzzles turn into animations once completed, what an excellent goal and surprise for the youngsters. This is the best children's app that I have used to date. If I had only one suggestion to push this into the 6th star rating it would be the addition of some very basic counting. Otherwise it incorporates all the skills that children need to develop.
This app is a real treat!

Version 2.0.1
My wife has been reading books to our 7-month-old, and this interactive book was a hit with them. Definitely one of the best kids apps I've played with yet, with a decent amount of extras to play with.

Highly recommended by this father!
Beautiful app!

Version 2.0.1
My kids loved the story and drawings. The puzzle was very popular. We went through the rest together and they enjoyed everything. I’m not sure how many times they will listen or want to read the story but the rest adds many hours of enjoyment for them. I loved the drawings and overall design, it was beautiful. In the painting section I wish you could zoom in and out but for my kids it didn’t matter.
Entertaining and Engaging - Worth the price

Version 2.0.2
This app really understands what children like and captures the entertainment aspect well. I bought this app for my daughter and she does not to let go my phone when she is enjoying this app. I spent some time on the different sections and liked them all. I just have a couple of suggestions. In paint the app is missing some sort of indication outline of the brush and a option to place the brush on the tap or above the tap so the image is better visible while painting. Generally an option to flip the iphone so the speaker is not covered with the hand would be a great option to add. Great job guys.
Cool book app!

Version 2.0.2
I was skeptical that this would be entertaining for my 9 year old. It's a story that can be appealing to a much younger child. My daughter giggled at parts and said she gave the story an 8 out of 10. She really liked the matching game. On the puzzle, the easy was too easy and she found the harder one for older children a little too challenging. She also enjoyed the painting and the part where you could touch to animate the story's characters. I would recommend this for young children through elementary ages. Most children will find the games fun and the story is cute and silly. A good thing to keep them busy for a little while if they need a distraction.
Excellent Engaging Story for kids

Version 2.0.2
I got this app to use as a bedtime story for my 3-year-old. Well, it was a long time before he was ready for his nap today as he really enjoyed all of the activities this app provides. First we watched the animated story, then he colored in the coloring book, and put the puzzle pieces together. Wish every children's book had all these features! Very good value. Next time we'll have to try the matching game too, but it seems designed for kids a bit older (along with the slide puzzles). Though I'd consider this a strength, as I can see this app giving him enjoyment for years to come.
Good app

Charming app. For the price it is listed at in the app store, it is definitely worth the purchase. It has a ton fun and puzzle to it and will definitely be my favourite book. Check it out.
