What it is: an interactive storybook about 16 pages long (featuring the TV series character Wubbzy) plus extra activities: 2 educational minigames (alphabet and counting), 3 videos and a coloring activity. 'Read to me', 'read & play', 'just a book' (simple version with no interactions) reading modes.
What you do with it: read the story yourself or listen to the narration. Touch objects on pages for simple animations and sounds.
What we liked: the story. Many interactive elements complementing the storyline. Illustrations and animations. Funny characters. Sounds and sound backgrounds. The 'counting' and 'alphabet' activities. Ease of use. Good reading options (words are highlighted, touch a word to have it read out). Extra tips for parents. The 'Just a Book' mode. Overall quality of the app.
What we didn't like: inclusion of the 'Sparky the Fire Dog's Fire Safety Tips' page is an excellent idea - though we wish it was better suited for the target age group.

What we liked: the story with many interactive elements complementing the storyline. Original illustrations and animations. Humor and fun factor. Sounds and sound backgrounds. Ease of use. Good reading options (words are highlighted, you can touch a word to have it read out).
What we didn't like: the racing game is very basic. A bit limited educational value (compared to other Wubbzy apps).
