### 3/5 — Toll gemacht aber Geschichte unterbrochen

*2023-12-27*

Es ist so eine schöne Geschichte und eine nette App. Im Unterricht kann ich die Geschichte leider nicht abspielen, weil das Spiel alles unterbricht. Das wäre getrennt besser.

### 2/5 — Eh

*2021-01-09*

Beautiful artwork, great voice for the narration, but story is disjointed, dull and poorly told, plus controls for the floating dandelion seed game between chapters are poor - plus the game is annoying, difficult for children due to poor controls and cannot be skipped.

### 2/5 — It’s ok-ish

*2020-11-09*

So first off the art style is fabulous I thought this was going to be more of a story like game so I bought it. But the entire game play is literally floating a dandelion puff to catch bubbles in between cut scenes of slightly animated pictures. That’s all you do level after level. And if that’s your thing cool go for it it may relax you. But it wasn’t for me. But I gave one star for the art style and another star because the story was at least cute so I suffered through the dandelion puff thing for it. But again it just wasn’t for me but maybe it’s for someone else who likes that kinda thing, also it’s a pretty short game. I finished in 20-30 min.

### 3/5 — Schön, nur die Unterbrechung stört

*2020-01-30*

Ich nutze das Buch als auch die App im Unterricht. Dabei stört das Spiel den Lesefluss.

Vielleicht ist es möglich, dieses überspringen zu können oder eine Buchversion wie bei „Die große Wörterfabrik“ einzuschalten?

### 2/5 — Schöne Geschichte - mit Nervspiel

*2019-09-28*

Die Geschichte ist schön gesprochen, die Illustrationen schön anzusehen und es wäre wirklich toll, aber dieses blöde Spiel - zu dem man gezwungen wird - zwischen den Kapiteln ist echt ein Abtörner. Meine Tochter war gespannt in der Geschichte drin, kann aber das schwierige Spiel mit der Glühbirne (der Wunsch, nehme ich an) nicht. Zumindest nicht so gut, dass es in einer annehmbaren Zeit zu schaffen ist (wobei auch nirgendwo erklärt ist, was man wie einsammeln soll und warum). 
Die Geschichte haben wir darum auch nur bis zum 3. Kapitel gehört, dann wollte meine Tochter nicht mehr. Selbst für mich ist es echt schwierig, die gelben Dinge einzusammeln. Schlechte Spielsteuerung. Es gibt keine Möglichkeit, die Spiele zu überspringen. 

Geschichte: 4-5 Stene
Spiel: Null Sterne, da überflüssig, nicht erklärt und sehr schwer

Insgesamt kann ich es daher nicht empfehlen.

### 1/5 — Im Tal der Pusteblumen

*2018-05-01*

Spiel voll daneben zerstört das Bucherlebnis😡
Keine Chance das Buch zu sehen im ganzen bzw vorlesen bzw zu hören ohne das blöde Spiel😠schade um das Geld....
Wörterfabrik dagegen top!!!!

### 5/5 — Wunderschön!

*2018-03-21*

Die App sieht wunderschön aus und dass man sich die Geschichte vorlesen lassen kann ist super. Das mitgelieferte Spiel macht auch echt Spaß! 
Super App!

### 4/5 — So schön.

*2017-09-21*

Was für wunderschöne Bilder. Am liebsten würde ich mir nur die Geschichte ansehen. Das Spiel, das die Handlung unterbricht, hätte ich gar nicht gebraucht, da man das Spiel ja auch so spielen kann. Aber sonst ganz toll.

### 3/5 — Okay

*2017-08-04*

Nette Geschichte, das Spiel wiederholt sich nach jedem Kapitel. Ein bisschen Abwechslung wäre besser, deshalb 1 Stern Abzug. 
Einen weiteren Stern ziehe ich ab wegen der Größe der App: Fast 500 MB!

### 5/5 — Spiel und Poesie

*2017-07-28*

Ein Endless-Flyer mit poetischer Geschichte. Vielleicht nicht in allen Belangen technisch perfekt umgesetzt, aber definitiv mal was anderes. Flow für jung und alt. Mir gefällt's!!!
