We’ve had this app for a while now and I just wanted to share how much my son loves it. He’s almost 5 years old and continues to enjoy this interactive story. I just downloaded Even Monsters are Shy, and hope he loves it just as much. I hope you guys come out with more stories! It’s so nice to have quality app options like this at a reasonable price. Thank you!

*2017-02-04*

I know this app came out years ago but that's part of the reason I'm writing the review. I've read this book time and Tim again both to two of my kids now and they've LOVED it. We even impersonate the characters at the dinner table. Im not even sure the developer or author will read this but I just want to say THANK YOU. It's been a real fun part of my family.

**Developer response:** Hi Justsmileok! We did read this, and you absolutely made our day. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2015-11-26*

Our son loves this story! The voice is pleasant to listen to, the animations are fun and engaging, and the story really speaks to him. He is often ill, and sometimes his friends don't understand why he doesn't want to play. When he feels isolated he pulls out this story. Really wonderful book to enjoy as a family or on his own.

### 1/5 — No tiene sonido -It does not read aloud

*2015-01-08*

I bought the app and It does not read aloud or it doesn't make any sound

**Developer response:** Hi - please see our FAQ for fixing your sound issue - it's actually an issue with a setting on the iPad. :) Easy steps shown here: http://www.busybeestudios.com/support/faq-help/

### 5/5 — Wow!

One of the most interactive fun stories I've seen!  My four year old loves it and so do my first graders!

### 5/5 — Great story, son loves it
