Best for: Interactive books, Attention & concentration, Early literacy, Personal & social, Understanding of the world
What it is: a book (32 pages long) about a boy who is always late for school (it is an abridged version of the print book by Mary Evanson Bleckwehl illustrated by Brian Barber
What you do with it: listen to the story (there is also the option to turn the narration off), touch objects on pages for interaction and sounds.
What we liked: the story, humor, illustrations.
What we didn't like: the narration could be better (more lively, more 'acting-like'). Text paragraphs could be laid out in a more reader-friendly way. Words are not highlighted in the 'narrator' mode. The interactive elements are very basic and not too engaging.
General notes about our book reviews: although when reviewing books, we try not to review the story itself, the general impressions will be reflected in the Overall Score.
The Age Range assigned to books will be usually broader compared to other apps, as they can be useful for both younger (with parent/narrator reading) or older (reading on their own) kids.
