Thanks for your review and your feedback. There should be no difference in the music when played on a phone or an iPad. Can you please email support@touchpress.com with more details (especially the model and OS of the phone you are referring to) so that we can look into this for you? ### 4/5 — Great for kids! 🤗 *2016-06-03, version 1.0.20* Great for 4-6 year olds I would say!

It would be okay for a game but is terrible for a book. The previous icon was a good representation of the whole story, this new one is not. I'm considering deleting the app just because of the icon. **Developer response:** Hi Someone, somewhere. Many thanks for your review, we always appreciated helpful feedback from our customers. We will certainly look into alternative icons for the next update. Thank! ### 1/5 — A *2014-01-02, version 1.0.18* U should get it ### 2/5 — Does not work *2013-07-29, version 1.0.8* This book looks great but it does not work on my iPod. Please fix! ### 2/5 — Ok *2012-03-09, version 1.0.1* It is neat and probably would be fantastic if it had sound ### 3/5 — Very nice, but in-app purchases aimed at little kids! *2013-10-19, version 1.0.17* I saw this on a demo iPad in a shop and thought my six year old daughter would enjoy this, and she does. Nice to look at, fun to interact with, and not too long or too short. But the app also comes with a "sticker" boom and jigsaws over and above the book. However to get all the stickers and jigsaws means additional purchases which is wholly inappropriate when considering the age of the target audience. Shame on you. Lose stars for this. ### 3/5 — Why only American? *2013-06-25, version 1.0.8* This is a beautiful looking app BUT why is there no option to change the reading voice to accents/languages other than American - I don't want my child speaking with an American accent (only because she is not American). At the price I am very disappointed ### 3/5 — No volume *2013-06-02, version 1.0.8* Very annoying that there is no volume! Please fix. ### 3/5 — Please fix *2012-01-17* Loved this book. BUT after my granddaughter played and fell in love with it for several wks, sadly she found a bug that freezes book right near the front. All I can tell u is there is two logs on with grass & two candy canes in background of interactive page. Book is completely now frozen will not go anywhere. Will give five stars when this strange bug is fixed. ### 4/5 — iap bought *2020-09-05* sleeping beauty story book sleeping beauty jigsaw pack sleeping beauty sticker book othes are not free ### 4/5 — Add the only thing yyy *2019-11-17, version 2.0.1* ASee P ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s amazing *2025-08-24* I don’t know why not much people play this game like I love it it teaches you in a fun way ### 5/5 — Best story I have ever seen *2021-11-01* It’s the best It’s the best story for children I have ever seen story for children I have ever seen ### 5/5 — My favourite book when I was small *2020-05-25, version 2.0.1* This is an amazing book!

Thank you. ### 5/5 — Worth the money *2013-02-10, version 1.0.8* I got a few of the story toys books on sale, but the are worth the full price too. My boys (5 and 9) and all their friends LOVE this and the full series of books by this developer. Logged in today to buy the newest. Whether listening to the story or reading by themselves, or practicing their French. I can't think of a single thing to ask of story toys to improve. Just keep them coming! ### 5/5 — Thank a lot! *2012-11-22, version 1.0.5* Very nice app, child's like it very much, but need russian language ### 5/5 — Great! *2012-10-29* The book has some obvious punctuation errors (commas where periods should be in the punctuation of dialogue), but other than that, it is perfect. My son and I enjoyed reading and playing this together. The other books are a bit steep in price to me, so I am very glad I found this when it was free. Thanks for a great app! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2012-10-29* Really like this app. Thank you for making a story come to life in a creative way. My kindergarten class will love this book. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
