User reviews

Great for 4 year old

This is great and helped my 4 year old with her fear of the dentist! We love Mercer Mayer!

Very impressive app

Could not be more pleased. The choice of reading your own story or having it read to you is nice. If you need help with a word reading on your own just touch it and it is pronounced for you. Just wonderful especially for those with dyslexia. Draws them in and captures their interest.

Great game

Finding the frog was hard
