User reviews

Fantastic!

This is by far my kiddo's favorite ipad book!

Outstanding

Really fun for the kids (and adults, too). Fully interactive, cute story, and in true oriental fashion, there is a moral. I've recommended this book to dozens of friends with kids, and they love it!

Perfect for the classroom

Kids love it and teachers too. Full of charming interactions and animations, the story and app are great!

Really good interactive book

This is one of the best books for the iPad, my kids 5 and 7 love the activities. Good sorry too.

Great Story and Use of Media

The creators of Dragon Brush have authored a very nice little story with some moral themes. It is a great story to teach children with. Anyone who thinks it is about income inequality is missing the point though.

The producers have also done a masterful job of using the interactive app environment to tell the the story and draw children in as well. There are various little surprises on almost every page that keep kids interested and wanting to re-read the story again and again. The paint app is also a nice little addition.

I hope to see more like this from the same team! Thank you!
