What it is: an interactive adaptation of Dr Seuss's classic.
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. Professional audio narration. Sounds and sound backgrounds. 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, picture/word associations). Great educational value. The option to record your own narration.
What we didn't like: the ads for other apps have to be manually turned off (they are 'on' by default). We wish there were more interactions and animations.
Free preview: if you are not sure, please see our 'See before you buy' video (below) or try the free version of Dr. Seuss's ABC book.

What it is/what you do with it: an interactive book introducing kids to basic nature/science concepts. 30 pages. Two ways 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 animals/objects on the pages to have them read out. Tap highlighted words for extra facts.
What we liked: the concept/story. Good educational value. Excellent reading options (words are highlighted, you can touch a word to have it read out, double tap to repeat a paragraph, picture-word associations, interactive glossary). Professional narration. Sounds and sound backgrounds.
What we didn't like: we wish there were more interactive features.
