Love the books, especially the one about totem poles, but when I bought a library and started to preview the books I was unable to return to the titles page without reading 32 pages. Will you fix this please?

As far as a book goes this is okay. However, I had to give it only 2 stars because the developers missed the point of it being on a technology device. There is no interactivity in the story. The only thing to touch is the underlined words and then only a picture and a definition pop up. Where is the sound? Why doesn't it read aloud and highlight the words as it does? Being engaged in the text is half of the battle with learning to read. To accommodate all levels of learners there should be some component of universal design. This is the same for all of the books this company offers.
