PopOut! The Night Before Christmas

What it is and what you do with it: an interactive version of the classic story. Features illustrations by William Denslow.

2 reading modes. 50 pages. Touch objects/characters on pages for animations and sounds.

What we liked: the story. Beautiful illustrations. Sounds and sound backgrounds. Professional narration. Good reading features (including words highlighting and the option to have single words read out by the narrator). Interactions complementing the storyline. Overall quality of the app.

What we didn't like: only page-by-page navigation. Some of the interactions are very basic (e.g. the character will just bounce when touched).
