Just Me and My Mom - LC

What it is: an interactive version of the book by Mercer Mayer (about 20 pages long).

What you do with it:three reading modes: 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.

Additional activity: find 19 frogs hidden in the pages.

What we liked: the story. Original artwork. Picture-word associations. Professional narration. Sounds and sound backgrounds. Good navigation and reading options (easy access to single pages, words are highlighted when read by the narrator, it is easy repeat a paragraph). The option to record and share your own narration. The 'find the frog' activity.

What we didn't like: the pages are very static: no animations (apart from zooming in and out), limited interactivity.
