Best for: Interactive books, Attention & concentration, Early literacy, Eye-hand coordination, Interaction, Language, Understanding of the world
What it is:an interactive adaptation of Dr Seuss's classic (about 28 pages).
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. Sounds and sound backgrounds. The picture/word associations feature. 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).
What we didn't like: not much interactivity (apart from the picture/word animations). We would prefer an adult narrator (as in other dr Seuss books).
