There’s No Place Like Space! (Dr. Seuss/Cat in the Hat)

What it is: an interactive book from the Cat in The Hat's Learning Library about the Solar System.

What you do with it: two modes of 'reading' the book: listen to the narration and follow the text or read the story yourself (or have the story read to you by a parent). Touch the objects on pages and their name will be displayed and read out. Touch highlighted words for definitions and explanations.

What we liked: the story, very good educational value, excellent reading options (words are highlighted, you can touch a word to have it read out, you can touch and hold the words to repeat a paragraph), picture-word associations, professional narration, sounds and sound backgrounds.

What we didn't like: almost no extra interactions/functions (compared to the other books from this series).

Note about ads: the app has an option to display news and ads from the publisher but this option can be turned off in the settings menu.
