Wonderful!

My son loves all your books! How nice to have them all in one app. The photos are perfect, stories are fun, and so nice to be able to record your own voice.

Brilliant

Thank you this is an excellent library of first reading books.This is an amazing tool for learning to read.It's simple to customise your own text and voice (would be really great if the 'original text' had a UK voice option too, as the facility to touch each word individually and have it highlighted and spoken is a great aid when learning to read. This facility only operates with the 'original text', so if there was a UK voice option, this would make the app even more appealing) However, there is an amazing facility on this app, which more than compensates for this, it allows you to customise any part of the picture on the page,enabling your own text & audio to be activated when touched. This means that you can emphasise the words that you want to be recognised by having them appear when the corresponding picture is touched, it's amazing to be able to personalise the books to your child's learning to this extent.The use of real photos of different children are so appealing, being bright and colourful, my daughter absolutely loves all of these books. Highly recommended.Thank you!!

I like books

What a great bundle! My grandchildren can't get enough of the stories. The beautiful illustrations keep them totally enthralled.

Great

Your books are great with beautiful illustrations. I wish you could make simple books for older (14-21) students with severe cognitive Challenges. They would really enjoy them if the themes were geared towards their ages but still use the simple sentences.
Perhaps maybe?:)

I like this app!

Great books for kids, with crisp pics and heaps of titles for the littlies. Lots of fun.

Wonderful but could be even better.

Beautiful photos. Great stories. Long books. Awesome collection. However since the books are so long, it needs a home button while the story plays so that child can quit book if he chooses. Right now you need to go through the whole book to quit. The home button doesn't always respond. I was expecting the books to be able to respond by touching each word one at a time as well. My kids would them be able to read them more independently with out the use of the read to me feature. Great stories, but not necessarily for the emergent reader which was what I was expecting.

Excellent on Many Levels

As a speech pathologist I recommend this app for building vocabulary, sentence structure, and articulation skills. This app can be used at school and at home. The pictures are colorful and clear. Most importantly, the themes reflect the interests of children. I loved "I Like Sticks"....children really do love sticks! How observant of the Grasshopper Apps authors!

Great apps

Realize that free book would not make money for developer, but if there is an add more custom book or exchange books with others would be great. May increase sale of the base app

Great for Speech therapy

I bought most of the books earlier, and I've used a couple for topical activities in speech therapy - they have been wonderful for working on vocabulary, likenesses and differences, opposites, etc. Having them all together will be great for searching for a particular subject - that makes them wonderful for working on themes. My students have really enjoyed them.

My daughter loves all the books and her iPad is filled with them so I'm so pleased that they're now all in one! First rate!
