User Reviews: The Going to Bed Book by Sandra Boynton

Top reviews

  • Wonderful for toddlers

    This is a lovely digital version of a sweet board book. The interactivity enhances the experience and the book is well crafted. Even the narration, which is a bit slow and sleepy, is okay because it's--well--a going to bed book. I am completely charmed by tapping the sky to add those lovely, tiny stars.
  • Great App

    I thought that this was a great app to accompany a nice bedtime story. The only problem I see in the future (or now even, if I want to ask questions while I read) is that even when you say "read by myself" the narrator still reads for you anyway. Kind of frustrating, but not enough to make me regret this purchase.
  • Wonderful!

    My daughter has been enjoying this e-book since she was about three months . As she continues to develop she and I get to explore more and more little surprises within the story. We have all of Sandra Boynton's e-books and a healthy collection of the board books. We can't wait for more to come... Perhaps an e-version of Hippos Go Berserk?
  • Amazing!

    I have over 20 story apps for my two-year-old and this is one of the best! The interactive and animated illustrations are magical, surprising and entertaining! We have read this story almost every night for the past two weeks. I'm afraid it sets the iPad storybook bar pretty high. The story's simple and soothing.
  • Wonderful

    Didn't think it would be possible to improve on this wonderful book but the pp is a joy. Well done
  • Love these books

    I have four children, ages 9 and down and they all love these books. My younger ones enjoying them more frequently. They are a fun interactive book where they can make the animals move and make noise. They can either be read to or read by themselves. This app is fun and youthful just like the books. We have all of them and are anxiously awaiting more. They have entertained my children for hours while driving or at appointments or snuggling together on the couch.
  • Best books on ITunes!

    The Sandra boynton interactive books are by far the best offered on iTunes! We have all four they have to offer and we are just waiting for new ones to be created!
  • Fail. A pain in the ^#^*%<!!!!

    We have a 2 year old. He has lots of books on the iPhone. The ones that auto- play, like Dr Suess and Mercer Mayer, are perfect for a toddler who has his little fingers all over the screen. The book continues to play. But this book doesn't work like that. Every time we open this book Boy starts touching the screen and this book stops, squawks, reverses, all in 3 seconds. We have to then take the phone away snd re- start it On EVERY page! We have never gotten thru this annoying, obnoxious book and I'm furious that I paid $4 for this crappy programming. Don't make the same mistake I did. Stay away.
  • Must have for kids

    Here's the thing about the Boynton book apps. They are not cheap or buggy. It's fun for the kids to distract themselves and play them over again and again. My two year old can find these and launch them himself. My seven year old still enjoys them even though she is on to chapter books by now. Must have at dinner or doctors office.
  • Beautiful

    Well executed! The music is so soothing and, contrary to some of the other reviews, the narrator's voice is perfect. The graphics are lovely and the interactive features work wonderfully.

    A wonderful tribute to a childhood favorite.
