What it is: an interactive book (20 pages) about a grumpy cat called Babel who dreams of becoming a king.
What you do with it: read the story yourself or listen to the narration. Tilt the device, blow into the microphone, touch/pull objects on the pages for interaction (e.g. help Babel land safely on the ground using an umbrella as the parachute, blow the leaves away etc).
What we liked: the story, illustrations (excellent!), animations, interactive elements complementing the storyline, sound backgrounds and sound effects, professional narration, visual hints (helping find all interactive elements).
What we didn't like: text is not 'young reader friendly' (large blocks of text, small font, words are not highlighted). The next/previous page buttons could be in a more convenient place.
Bottom line: engaging, with excellent graphics and narration - highly recommended!
