(I forgot to check the Chinese.) A little bug smashing by the developers can fix that. I was very pleased to learn from reading a negative review below that the little match girl does indeed die at the end of the story. It's quite fair to feel that the story is "morbid," if you feel that sort of thing is not appropriate for children, but it is in no way a WTH if you have ever read the original story. The Little Match Girl is a literary fairy tale written by the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen in the 19th century, and the girl freezes to death at the end. It is the ending that he wrote for the story, and it is definitely not Disney material. I applaud the development team for not being afraid to remain true to the original ending. I noticed that they did almost the same thing with The Little Mermaid, although they had her going immediately to heaven instead of the sort of bittersweet, cautiously hopeful ending from Andersen's original. As far as iBigToy's storybooks in general, I can't speak to the quality of the Chinese, except that the narration sounded much more emotive that the English narration to my ear, but the quality of the English in the products is mixed. Some of the books have so many grammatical errors (e.g. Hua Mulan) or the English narration differed from the English text so badly (e.g. The Steadfast Tin Soldier) that I deleted them immediately, but I have found at least a couple dozen of their books that are just fine and I look forward to my little daughter enjoying the stories. I also hope to get my teenage son, who is studying Chinese in school, to use these regularly for more exposure to Chinese once he has acquired more vocabulary. He can already pick out a few words here and there. ### 1/5 — What the Hell? *2013-07-18* All iBigToy books I have tried have narration that doesn't match the words, stupid and morbid stories, and very little interaction in the apps. Seriously, the story is a little homeless girl trying to sell matches, she sees a shooting star, which somehow means that someone has died. Spoiler alert, that person is her and she's dead in the street at the end. The end, sweet dreams. ### 1/5 — Worst book ever *2012-05-20* In what country is this a children's book. I was mortified. Are you serious.!!!! If there was less than one star you would get it for this book. Should be a warning on it. I was reading it to my two year old until I realized what the story was about. ### 2/5 — No sound *2011-08-06* All books have no sound, please fix. ### 5/5 — Great *2011-07-28* MAthenaX Great ### 5/5 — 喜欢这个故事~ *2011-07-28* 孩子很喜欢~~~谢谢 ### 5/5 — 非常感谢！ *2011-07-27* 会一直支持你们的，加油！ ## Frequently asked questions about The Little Match Girl iBigToy ### What is The Little Match Girl iBigToy?
