What it is: an interactive adaptation of Dr Seuss's classic.
What you do with it: three ways of 'reading' this book: listen to the narrated story with the words highlighted, read as a 'traditional' book and auto play (automatic reading and turning the pages). Tap on the pictures to hear the associated words read out.
What we liked: the story. Original artwork. Professional audio narration. Sounds and sound backgrounds. Excellent reading options (words are highlighted when read by the narrator, you can tap on a single word to hear it read aloud or long press to listen to a paragraph, picture/word associations). Great educational value. The option to record your own narration.
What we didn't like: the ads for other apps have to be manually turned off (they are 'on' by default). We wish there were more interactions and animations.
