Awesome books!

I use these books in language therapy. The kids love they are interactive, and I love that I can control who reads it. I Can work on so many language and behavior goals with these books! We need more!

Done in 5 min

My 4 year old blew through this app in 5 minutes. She enjoyed it and then she was done with it. When I buy an app I'd like it to hold her interest over the course of a few weeks or even months, so a few minutes of enjoyment was slightly disappointing.

An awesome Mercer Mayer app

This app ("All by Myself") is more like a visual audiobook, but it lights up the words as it reads too... which is very nice for starting readers. I highly recommend this charming story in book and App format.

Oceanhouse has three of Mercer Mayer's Little Critter books in app-format, and a bunch of Dr. Suess too. Another company has done a cart-over of the Mercer Mayer's "Just Me and My Dad" Cd-Rom.

Note to Oceanhouse: The Heart on Mom's dress currently shows the word "Heart," but it doesn't say it out loud. Hopefully this will be fixed on an update (?).
