The story is a good one--not just a flimsy excuse for the interactivity-- and the artwork is beautiful. The interactivity supports the story all the way through, keeping the reader involved in the tale instead of distracting from the narrative (as is so common in most other book apps). I loved it, and I bet kids will too. ### 5/5 — Inspired!! *2012-10-17* One of the best 'Children's Story' I have ever read and it never fails to satisfy an adult like me, never mind my 3 and 5 year old friends. It pure genius and I still have not plumbed its depths! Thanks for a great way of thoroughly entertaining children and their adults. The music is great, the narrator has a beautiful and engaging voice and the graphics are well done. The finger drawing will satisfy that child who does not get tired doing the same thing again and again!! Is there something else to come from this team?? Yes please!!! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2012-10-06* This is one of our favorite apps. Right up there with the Flying Books of Morris Lessmore. Beautiful graphics, great storytelling and wonderful interactive features. My 3 1/2 yr old son loves the interactive graphics, I love the story and I think we'll be using this app for years to come. We can't wait for the next one. ### 5/5 — Beautiful!!!! *2012-06-25* My & my girlfriend were completely blown away by the style & simplicity of it all. I can't wait to show my 3 year old niece. ### 5/5 — Great! *2012-06-20* My seven year old son really enjoys the interactive story and paint features. Beautifully written and drawn. ### 5/5 — Bravo! *2012-06-05* Imagination and story telling at its best! I want to wake my children up from sleeping so they can have a turn. I hope I find more like this. ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2012-06-01* I don't often comment but felt compelled to do so after my daughter and I spent a weekend on the road to Chicago with this app. It is so well done and "deep". Just tons to do here and then when you're done exploring and just want to listen to a book, you can do that, too. Hoping for more chapters/stories to come. Very well thought out and executed. ### 5/5 — Dragon bush *2012-05-31* I loved it so much, it was so beautiful and I am an adult. I was captivated amazing worth the money! Great story and for the people who said they hated it are crazy! ### 5/5 — Love it *2012-05-31* Love it 8) And can't wait for more stories ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2012-05-30, version 1.0* (=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=) ### 5/5 — Beautiful! *2012-05-27* Thank you so much for this... Seeing the look of joy and amazement in our 3 year old's eyes when we read your book together is priceless, let alone worth every penny of this purchase. Apps like these are precisely what makes the iPad magical--you should be very proud of this work. Here's something that for the price of a cup of coffee, you're helping a parent teach their child to read, entertaining them, teaching them important lessons in character, and letting them explore his or her artistic side. Thank you so much for this--If I could rate it 6 out of 5, I would! ### 5/5 — Great story, beautiful app! *2012-05-25, version 1.0* What a fantastic storm scene! Really nice interactive elements. ### 5/5 — The Froshest fun around *2012-05-24* Captivating, cool, and decidedly fresh. Our kids couldn't put it down. They loved the interaction, the ability to paint with a magic brush, and the fun of sending their creations to their friends. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Beautiful! *2012-05-23* This is simply an amazing book: beautifully designed, illustrated, and narrated. It is a truly wonderful story and lots of fun to play. I especially like the painting program at the end. My nephews loved to interact with this book, especially trying to find all the magic painting pots. What a delight! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So bad! *2012-05-26, version 1.0* Complete waste of 2.99! Horrible and so boring! DO NOT BUY!!! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2012-05-25, version 1.0* It's boring ### 2/5 — Awful story, beautifully done *2014-12-18* The story suggests that this young boy murders the greedy emperor (marooned on a small island In a magical lake and unable to swim) for being...greedy. The punishment for the emperor's "crime" is disproportionate and malicious. And The young rabbit would also almost certainly be killed by the Royal guards following his stunt. There is little positive in this story. Just recklessness and thoughtless abuse of power...by a young rabbit with a magic brush. There are better ways to tell a story about the unfairness of income inequality. I would like a refund. ### 3/5 — The illustration is great but… *2012-05-30* Everything else about this project kind of blows. The animations and interactive elements feel rushed and uninspired but more glaringly the writing, voicing and score are all ill-suited to the tale and just plain bad. ### 4/5 — Good fun! *2014-05-14* Very nice story and the interactive play and painting option are both fun for young children. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2023-06-06* This is by far my kiddo's favorite ipad book! ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2018-06-25* 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! ### 5/5 — Perfect for the classroom *2017-09-19* Kids love it and teachers too. Full of charming interactions and animations, the story and app are great! ### 5/5 — Really good interactive book *2017-07-28* This is one of the best books for the iPad, my kids 5 and 7 love the activities. Good sorry too. ### 5/5 — Great Story and Use of Media *2015-07-16* 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! ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beautiful, brilliant! *2014-07-04* Fantastic story, beautifully illustrated ### 5/5 — Spectacular *2014-03-13* This deserves more reviews.

This app is positively glorious and fun for the whole family. It’s a fun and unique story telling device, that repeatedly delights. ### 5/5 — Circle of Trust *2013-11-09* I heard about this app on the adventures in design podcast and had to check it out. They came through for me once again because this is a phenomenal find. Terrific app, beautiful illustrations and a wonderful story. I can't wait to share it with my nieces and nephews. ### 5/5 — Fabulous for School Aged Children *2013-04-05, version 1.2* Wonderful interactive traditional story. The illustrations are beautiful and some require participation to move the story forward.
