### 4/5 — Nice variety of games

*2024-08-03*

This game hasn’t been updated in a while, but it has some nice mini games. You can color with a fox, fly with an owl, race with other animals and more. Each mini game has a different objective. I like the storybook art style and the calming music. There’s black bars on the screen edges.

### 5/5 — Soo good

### 5/5 — Fantastic game , happy little boy

*2022-07-18*

My son loves the Gruffalo and this kept him entertained for hours. After reading another review you can reset the game so all the medals go back to 0. He loves beating the cheeky mouse the most lol

### 5/5 — Für unsere 4-jährige ein toller kurzweiliger Zeitvertrieb

*2022-04-13*

Sehr schönes Spiel mit gefragter Geduld plus Lerneffekt.

### 3/5 — Too easy

*2017-04-06*

Just downloaded this app for my 3 yr old and she has completed it in 20mins. Far too easy for the money and now she has won everything she doesn't want to play it anymore and having the room on the broom icon in the corner she wants to play that now. Too expensive for 20mins play.

### 5/5 — Fun App

*2017-01-29*

My grandsons thoroughly enjoyed the various games. Axel Scheffler's graphics are superb and each game is self-explanatory. 
I agree with the previous reviewer that an extra level of difficulty would make the games more challenging.

### 3/5 — Nice graphics but too simple

*2017-01-04*

Not very challenging for my 3 year old but kept him entertained for a while
