### 5/5 — beautiful story

*2011-07-16*

our son wants to hear 'more of leo's adventures!'

### 5/5 — Beautiful book

*2011-07-02*

My kids love this book.  It is beautifully done and a really sweet story.  The app makes it even better. It looks best on the iPad and the iPhone is perfect for long trips in the car.

### 1/5 — Skip this story!

*2015-03-04*

Save your money and skip this story- the kids voice is so horrible - he mispronounces worlds, swallows syllables and will hinder your child, not help him (or her) to read. Plus, you may get stuck listening to this sickening sound, something akin to nails on a chalk board.

### 4/5 — Happy Kids

We love it!

### 4/5 — Cute

*2012-04-10*

Teaches a  good lesson without being preachy.

### 5/5 — I love how you can make a funny or hilarious or even a romantic story and thank you OM book shelf

*2025-08-24, version 2.8.0*

For recovering some of the books from OM book shelf did you know that I was probably the last person on earth to read the first dr Seuss book read and learn app in existence and I have the same experience with the read and learn apps and I have liked the experience forever so thanks so so soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun and now as a 10 year old boy going into grade 5 you know I have had a experience of almost a life time thank you for recovering these books on the App Store 📕📗📘📙😃😄

### 5/5 — Outstanding and Captivating audio delivery

*2011-12-07*

We absolutely appreciate the way the reading of this book is delivered!  Leo is so adorable!  The lesson is heartfelt, brilliantly illustrated and narrated, and I just love how my 5 yr old relates to it positively.  It is a story he chooses quite often amongst all the books he loves to read; and yes, my little one does know how to read!!!  Thanks to all involved with its creation!

### 5/5 — Love It!!

*2011-08-27*

Great Story. Great App. This is one of our favorite 'before bedtime' books.

### 5/5 — Cute

*2011-08-20*

Cute story love the features!

### 5/5 — Great Value!

*2011-07-19*

The story is charming.   The story is the kind I would actually pay for and want to read more than once.  With the added acting, the chiod's adorable voice, and the charming illustrations, it is just adorable.  We did not even explore the rest of the features, but at this price, I already got the value that I want.  A previous download from another company had none of these features and a boring story...
