User Reviews: The Going to Bed Book by Sandra Boynton

Top reviews

  • Great!

    It would be very difficult to rank anything Sandra Boynton below 5 stars, since the material that is enhanced is so great on its own. The Going to Bed Book is wonderfully narrarated and Boynton's animations come to life with activities such as dressing for bed, running up the stairs, or steaming up the iPad's screen with hot water. This App is great for any child who enjoys Boynton's books and a fun tool for parents and children to view together.
  • Very cute!

    Overall very nicely done! I'll agree that the narrator is pretty droning...I don't think energetic would work though, as it is a going to bed book...so...it it what it is. Interactions are cute and fun on every page! I still enjoy going through it from time to time :)
  • It's crashing after the first page. Please fix the problem.

    I have no idea if this is a good book or not. The program crashes after page one.
  • The going to bed book

    I purchased this app on my iPad. When you turn the first page the screen goes black. I want to be able to use it. Please fix it!
  • My toddler loves it!

    She loves all the interactive features of the book. We loved exploring to figure them all out. We have had an intermittent issue with the tooth brushing page. After activating the hot water it gets stuck and emits this horrible noise. It's scary for my 15 month old, so not at all good for bedtime. We have been able to remedy the problem by closing the app and waiting a few minutes before re-opening.
  • Disappointed

    Cute idea in theory but several things I found annoying, primarily the narrator's voice for one. It's a slow drone that's nowhere near reflecting the energy of the words. I know it's a going to bed book but it's a lifeless narration so I end up reading it. Additionally, some of the interactive features don't work for me. Love Sandra Boynton but not this type of execution.
  • Sound?

    Still no sound....after three reboots and various settings amendments both in software and hardware.
  • Charming

    My 5yr old, my 2yr and I love this App. Sweet, fun, charming, interactive and smart. Great fun.
  • Crashes

    I would sooooo love this if only it did not CRASH every darn time. Either fix it or refund me please.
  • Great adaptation of the original!

    Our 20 month old daughter was already a huge fan of the board book version of this classic from Sandra Boynton, to say that she "read" it a million times is barely an exaggeration. Although very familiar with the book she had a blast rediscovering her love for it as a result of the interactive nature of this version! It was wonderful watching her explore the pages, tapping on objects and characters, and getting rewarded by whimsical sounds and reactions. Kudos to the developer and to Sandra for their faithful reproduction of the original experience of reading this book, while also adding great interactivity as well! I would love to see more of Sandra's books adapted for the iPad!!
