A Classic with Modern Elements

This book is a perfect example of a classic tale that most adults are familiar with that now feels new and fresh thanks to the "adaptations" that have been made to it. Enjoying a book on a mobile device changes the reading experience right there and gives it an engaging and entertaining feel. As mentioned kids will be delighted with the artwork on each and every page, there is music, narration that captures their attention immediately, and of course a variety of reading modes. These reading modes make it possible for the book to remain interesting and challenging as kids become more familiar with it and/or get older.

In the app's most recent update there were a couple of fixes made in order to provide a smoother, more stable experience for users. The developer seems to understand the user quite well as this app has a strong four out of five star customer rating score.

Enhancing the Reading Experience

There are a few different ways this app ensures that the reader has the best experience possible. First off there are the variety of reading modes. Kids can choose from I Can Read It, Read with Pause (the child will be turning the pages and can read along with the narrator), and Read to Me (this mode is narration along with music).

The app reacts like most book-style ones where you simply swipe the screen to turn the page. There is a glossary to help kids with words that are big, kids can tap on a word in order to hear what it is, and the pages are full screen so kids get to see everything in large size.  Another cool feature worth mentioning is the "parent tips." These are handy little tips throughout the book that are given to parents. They suggest things to talk about with your child and do. These activities are meant to enhance the child's learning experience.
