They take ordinary items and put them together to tell a story and make a picture. The entire story is interactive with the user moving pieces around and coloring parts in. My kids (3 and 6) truly enjoy this app! ### 4/5 — Cute stories and graphics, *2013-01-04, version 1.0* My 7 year old daughter and I played the app and really enjoyed the interactive graphics in the stories. I think the Volcano coffee pot had the most detailed graphics and story. Sometimes it took my daughter a few tries to get the clues in the stories, but the hitting the question mark gave visual hints that a child understood. ### 4/5 — Charming and poetic *2013-01-03, version 1.0* This is a charming storybook app that my kids really enjoyed. Would love to see them all utilize the same interactiveness as "Daisy Girl" along with the length. Otherwise, perhaps an added mini-story or game play perhaps? Overall, it was great for both of my kids who are 5 and just turned 7. They had their favorites each and the subtle noises in each story were enjoyed along with the narrator (dubbed elf). I'd like an opportunity for more stories even IAP purchase for a grouping of three or more in the future. Again, these are a little different in that the child listens and reacts in order for the story to progress - it was and is a lot of fun. ### 5/5 — really love it :) *2013-01-03, version 1.0* I really like this app. It is fully interactive and fun. The three stories are wonderful and your child can learn a lot from each of them. This app helps with learning directions, helps build imagination, and more. All my children loved this app right from the start :) ### 4/5 — Neat Interactive Stories *2013-01-02, version 1.0* This is a neat story book that has three stories and a lot of interactivity. Children will enjoy getting involved and learning how to make the story progress. If you get stuck or are not sure what to do, there is a helpful question mark at the bottom of the screen. It's very good for both learning colors and learning how to follow directions. The daisy story is the best one; the other two are rather short, but are also cute. ### 4/5 — Get Creative With Literacy! *2013-01-01, version 1.0* The Hedgehog Book (3 stories) is a MUST HAVE app for the preschool and elementary classroom engaged in creative literacy activities. Pictures & sound effects are delightful. All interactions are manual, which provide time for asking open-ended questions to elicit creative thinking. Children can delve into a discussion about the whimsical similes and prose (and create their own), while at the same time develop skills in following directions and sentence recall. Question (hint) button is helpful. Daisy Girl (create a girl from a daisy flower) and Volcano Coffee Pot ("An old coffee pot without a handle, filled with strawbverry jam is a volcano full of lava") are my favorites and worth the $1.99. The banana flower has potential - poem in my opinion needs some tweeking, but can provide creative discussion in the classroom. Once you are in the story, no arrow to go back and forth. There is a "home" button. ### 4/5 — adorable illustrations, quirky stories *2012-12-30, version 1.0* This app is eye candy, and my daughter visited all three stories twice each, with great interest. My personal favorite was Daisy Girl, and my least favorite was Banana Flower, but all three stories are BEAUTIFUL, visually. The old coffee pot is particularly charming. The narrator reads enthusiastically, and his rendition of all three stories is considerably above average (I say this as a person who has listened to MANY narrators absolutely kill as story with flat delivery and bizarre vocal inflections). I think the weakness with this collection, if there be any, lies in the translation from Portuguese into English, particularly with the third story, which is also quite short, and not particularly clever, as translated. Having said that, I would purchase other children's stories from this developer, because I found them quirky (in an amusing way that makes repeating the stories very fun) and beautifully illustrated. ### 4/5 — Nice app *2012-12-28, version 1.0* In general, I liked this app. The Coffee Pot story makes it all worth while! I would like to see a little more direction given at the beginning of the app as to how to get help. If this were spoken and shown, it would help young players who don't have an adult to guide them. ### 3/5 — 3 stories in 1 *2012-12-26, version 1.0* Overall, this was a cute app and my 4 year old enjoyed the simplicity of the storylines and ability to interact with the app. I really like the ability to turn on and off the read along function and play it in another language. I think that is a great way to expose little ones to other languages in a fun way. The daisy story is more developed than the teapot and bananna stories. ## Frequently asked questions about Hedgehog Book ### What age is Hedgehog Book suitable for?
