### 1/5 — Very, very good

*2020-10-14, version 1.6*

Update iOS 14
No longer works. Company doesn’t even bother replying to emails asking for help. It’s sad as it was a great game for kids.

We bought this for our little (15mth) granddaughter and she loves it to bits and just won't stop playing it! It's put together so well that you can tell that someone has put a great deal of love and effort into it. Can't recommend it highly enough. Please bring out more apps of this quality!

### 5/5 — A lovely story!

*2018-03-02, version 1.6*

It's a amazing and wonderful interactive digital book, please make more like this....

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-03-29*

Our twin boys love this book. They love touching the screen to make things in the story happen.

### 1/5 — Who stole the moon

*2014-10-20*

Fed up with FREE apps that then require purchase when the primary part of the app only has about 5% of what you think you are getting. Use the "FREE PREVIEW" description so we know what we are getting. This seems like false advertising ie. "free car" that has no engine or tires! Stop already!!

### 5/5 — Awesome interactive book!

*2014-08-26*

I love this book and so do my special needs students.  Lovely story and plenty of interesting things to tap on throughout.
The games are good and the songs are cute too

### 5/5 — Superbe!

*2014-04-24, version 1.3*

Quelle belle histoire!  Très interactive!

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2013-12-30*

Well worth the money. My 5 year old's favorite.
Great job.

### 4/5 — Hmm

*2012-12-02, version 1.2*

Lovely book but a bit annoying when downloaded as a free app, that a couple of pages into the book, you are asked to pay for basically the whole story. Bit of a hiccup when a child is listening for the first time. Would have been better to make this a paid for app in the first place. 

Wonderful book otherwise.

### 5/5 — Lovely

*2012-11-30*

Lindo libro!!!! Recomendado!

### 5/5 — La noche

*2012-10-15*

Es un libro muy interactivo, Enseña que animales salen en la noche. Y esta muy bien narrado. Y las illustraciones son muy agradable. Y lo mejor es que a mi hija le encanto.
