I have a son finishing up first grade and will be heading into second grade in a few months. He's doing well with his reading but finds a lot of the reading homework to be boring. It was a challenge to find something on his reading level that was entertaining to him. But not any longer. This app is his favorite book to read. He loves the graphics, colors drawings and just about everything to do with this app. And when he gets "tired" and can't read any further, he clicks on the narrator to read it. If that wasn't enough of a reason to get it, there's a cute little challenge where kids have to save the animals from the dangerous alligator. A must have for kids of this age range.
