Excellent, but not as better as the Living Books version.

I liked the Living Books version more than this. I missed the funny animations and interactivity with the Living Books version, especially the one where the cat balances lots of items. But this one contained some exclusive animations and faithful to the original book. I like the interactivity to next page parts other than just pressing the arrow (like on the Living Books version). It was somehow a missed opportunity to add multiple gowns on the gown part of the story like on the Living Books version. What I do like is that there is a lot of interactivity that is not on the Living Books version, such as manually putting away the items in the final part of the story instead of automatically in a song in the Living Books version. I do miss the original music in the Living Books version too. Other than that, great app!
