Personal Comments by Reviewer

This really is a charming little app with loads of great content. It is designed for kids aged three to seven and I think the developer has done a fantastic job of tailoring it for that age group.

Visually, I’m very impressed; the artwork is all original and is ideal for children, while the characters and overall message of the story is one of love and consideration for others.  One very important point to make is that there aren’t ads or pop-ups so you won’t have to keep closing things as your child accidentally taps ads.

I grew up reading these books and the app brings back those feelings. I’m glad to be able to share them with my daughter.
